Q. Transcription means the synthesis of ____:
Answer: DNA
Notes: Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA by the enzyme, RNA polymerase. During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand. The transcribed direct and oversee the translation of genes into specific protein synthesis once in cytoplasm.
