The RNA molecule that is produced as a result of transcription is called messenger RNA or mRNA. It carries its 'message' to units called ribosome which will decode the RNA to produce amino acids, which are chained together to build proteins. By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D.
The stretch of DNA transcribed into an RNA molecule is called a transcription unit and encodes at least one gene. If the gene transcribed encodes a protein, messenger RNA (mRNA) will be transcribed; the mRNA will in turn serve as a template for the protein's synthesis through translation.
