The product of transcription is messenger RNA (mRNA). During transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA strand. This RNA strand, which predominantly consists of mRNA, then carries the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where it serves as a template for protein synthesis during translation. Additionally, transcription can also produce other types of RNA molecules, such as ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA), but the primary product for protein-coding genes is mRNA.
