Question

a section of a nucleic acid is shown below.
the process represented in the diagram produces a molecule that is complementary to the template strand of dna. what type of molecule is produced?
new dna
polypeptide
messenger rna
carbohydrate

Explanation:

The diagram shows the process of transcription. In transcription, a complementary RNA strand is synthesized from a DNA template strand. Messenger RNA (mRNA) is produced during this process. New DNA is produced in DNA replication. A polypeptide is formed during translation. Carbohydrates are not synthesized in this process.

Answer:

Messenger RNA
