Question

_________ is (are) the product of Transcription, and the starting material of Translation. A. tRNA B. Amino Acids C. mRNA D. Ribosomes

Answer 1

mRNA is the product of transcription and serves as the starting material for translation, where it is read by ribosomes to synthesize proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of transcription and the starting material of translation is mRNA or messenger RNA. During the process of transcription, a single strand of mRNA is synthesized as a transcript of DNA. Subsequently, during translation, the mRNA is utilized by the ribosomes as a template to synthesize proteins. The mRNA template, along with ribosomes and tRNA molecules, directs the assembly of amino acids into a polypeptide chain which will eventually fold into a functional protein. Each set of three bases on the mRNA, known as a codon, corresponds to a single amino acid, and the tRNA molecules carry these amino acids to the ribosome where they are added to the growing protein chain.

Answer 2

C. mRNA

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we may remember that when DNA is undergoing transcription a specific sequence is copied via the RNA polymerase in order to produce the messenger RNA which is subsequently used as the starting material of translation for the protein synthesis as shown on the attached picture. Thereby, answer is C. mRNA, since the transcription process produces it and then, for the translation process, it contains the codons which promote the formation of polypeptides (proteins) via the connection of the anti-codons contained in the tRNA which also provide the amino acids for the polypeptides formation.
