During RNA synthesis, what is produced from a DNA template?

During RNA synthesis, which is also known as transcription, RNA molecules are produced from a DNA template. This process involves the enzyme RNA polymerase binding to a specific region of the DNA known as the promoter. It then unwinds the DNA strands and assembles ribonucleotides complementary to the DNA template strand. As a result, a strand of RNA is formed that is complementary to the sequence of the DNA, allowing for the genetic information to be transcribed from DNA to RNA.

This RNA molecule can then undergo further processing in eukaryotes, such as splicing, capping, and polyadenylation, before it is translated into proteins. However, the primary outcome of RNA synthesis itself is the creation of RNA molecules, which play crucial roles in the expression of genes.
