Solution
The correct option is A polypeptide The process by which a gene is used to produce products which has a final effect on the phenotype is called gene expression.
Generally a gene expression results in the formation of a polypeptide chain.
DNA (deoxyribo nucleic acid) is the genetic material of most organisms and it carries the genes or the units of heredity.
Primer is a short nucleic acid strand that acts as the starting point for DNA synthesis.
A polysaccharide is a complex carbohydrate and it has no role in gene expression mechanism.
