What is the final product of transcription?

A gene
An amino acid
An mRNA molecule
A stop code

here is the paragraph to read from:

Transcription is the process by which an RNA copy of a gene sequence is created. This copy, known as the mRNA, travels from the cell nucleus to
the cytoplasm. There, it directs the synthesis of the protein. The base code in the mRNA controls the order of the amino acids in the protein.
There are 20 amino acids used to make proteins and different codes for each acid. The tRNA reads the code. Then it brings a specific amino acid to
attach to the growing chain of amino acids. Each tRNA carries only one type of amino acid. It only recognizes one specific code. tRNA is released
from the amino acid until it comes to a stop code. Then the protein is set free from the ribosome.​

Answer:

An mRNA molecule

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription is a process by which the information stored in a specific fragment of DNA called 'gene' is used to produce a complementary RNA molecule, usually a messenger RNA (mRNA). Subsequently, this mRNA is used as template to produce a polypeptide chain (i.e., a sequentially ordered amino acid chain) through the process of translation. A stop codon, also known as termination codon, is a triplet of nucleotide bases within an mRNA that signals the end of the protein when it is synthesized in the ribosome. There are three stop codons (UAG, UAA, and UGA) that are capable of stopping protein synthesis.
