The Product Is The Transcript

a: Dna transcription ~
b: copy of a page from an old book

What: "The process of transcription is like making a handwritten copy of a page from the original text for actual use. In this analogy, the cookbook is the DNA. It carries many recipes (for DNA the recipes contain information on how to construct proteins. The recipes are the genes.). The handwritten copy is a transcription of the text (that is, a copy in the same language but in a different form) that is being used for a specific recipe (a certain protein). "
