Question

Which of the following is NOT product of transcription?

A) a new strand of DNA
B) rRNA
C) tRNA
D) mRNA
E) None of the answers are correct; all of these are products of transcription.

Answer 1

A new strand of DNA is not a product of transcription. Transcription is the process by which the information encoded in a strand of DNA is copied into a complementary strand of RNA. This process produces three different types of RNA: ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA). None of these are new strands of DNA, so the correct answer is A) a new strand of DNA.

Answer 2

(A. a new strand of DNA)
DNA is not the product of transcription but instead is the starting material/template.
