There are these structures in our body cells called nucleus. In the nucleus, there's a structure called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of a lot of DNA in condensed form. The DNA is a double helix structure made up of genes. Genes are what codes for proteins.

You have to know transcription and translation to know such roles.

The part where the gene will be coded will unzip. The mRNA will attach itself there. It will code for the gene. Say for example: ATGCCGTA

The coding for DNA and RNA are the same but Uracil will take the place of Thymine.

The mRNA will recode ATGCCGTA to UACGGCAU (this may not code for a codon but it's for just the sake of giving an example)

After recoding, the mRNA will leave the nucleus and attach itself to the ribosome. There every 3 amino acids will form a codon due to the tRNA present there. The codons will form a long chain; forming proteins.

How proteins help the support the structure and function of DNA?

DNA is packaged very tight by proteins. Proteins found around the DNA supports both the structure and functions. The proteins and the DNA make up the chromosomes. Proteins and DNA in animal cells are chromatin! DNA contains information because of the DNA's structure!

What roles do proteins play in organisms?

Proteins are the chief actors within the cell, said to be carrying out the duties specified by the information encoded in genes. With the exception of certain types of RNA, most other biological molecules are relatively inert elements upon which proteins act. Proteins make up half the dry weight of an Escherichia coli cell, whereas other macromolecules such as DNA and RNA make up only 3% and 20%, respectively. The set of proteins expressed in a particular cell or cell type is known as its proteome.

Does protein produce DNA?

DNA are not chemically having protein. But DNA are coiled to chromatin structures by proteins called histones. DNA can interact with proteins for various reason including DNA replication.DNA are not chemically bonded with proteins. But they do interact with protins for various process including DNA replication. In nucleus, DNA coiled to form chromatin structures by histone proteins.
