What is the initial product of the transcription process described?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify the initial product formed during the transcription process in molecular biology. Transcription is the process where a segment of DNA is copied into RNA, and the options provided suggest different types of RNA generated during this process.
Answer
Primary RNA transcript (precursor mRNA).
The initial product of the transcription process is a primary RNA transcript, also known as precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA.
Answer for screen readers
The initial product of the transcription process is a primary RNA transcript, also known as precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA.
More Information
The primary RNA transcript is an early product of gene transcription, which is sometimes further processed into mature messenger RNA (mRNA) that gets translated into proteins.
