The term associated with the transcription of nucleic acid is the transcription terminator. Transcription terminator is a region of nucleic acid sequence that ear marks the end of an operon or gene during transcription of a genomic DNA. The nucleic acid sequence ensures the mediation of transcriptional termination through signal provision of newly synthesized transcript RNA which trigger the release of transcript RNA.

Answer: The correct answer is Gene.

Gene is a segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) that codes for a protein. The protein thus formed corresponds to a specific trait of the organism.

The gene first undergoes transcription to synthesize mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is finally translated to form protein.

Thus, the term associated with transcription and that describe regions of nucleic acid is gene.
