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.
Transcription is the first stage of the expression of genes into proteins. In transcription, a mRNA (messenger RNA) intermediate is transcribed from one of the strands of the DNA molecule. The RNA is called messenger RNA because it carries the 'message' or genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes, where the information is used to make proteins. Transcription may be broken into five stages: pre-initiation, initiation, promoter clearance, elongation and termination.
