Answer:

The cell would be unable to create proteins

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription is the process by the DNA is read by RNA polymerase to create mRNA. The mRNA is then used by ribosomes to create proteins by recruiting respective amino acids that correspond to the codon sequence on the mRNA (in a process called translation).
