DNA has coded instructions for making proteins, and RNA translates the code.
The sections of DNA that get copied into RNA strands during transcription are called genes. These RNA strands are then used as templates to make specific proteins during translation.
Before RNA polymerase can make RNA, the DNA molecule must be unwound and the double helix separated to expose the sequence of nucleotides that will be used to transcribe the RNA. This process is facilitated by proteins that help open the DNA molecule for transcription.
During transcription, DNA makes a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to one of its strands. This RNA molecule carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes where it is used to make proteins through the process of translation.
Both are involved. DNA contains the instructions, which are transcribed onto mRNA. This mRNA travels out of the nucleus to the ribosome - where it is translated into an amino acid sequence (polypeptide/protein).
DNA & RNA are used in making proteins during transcription and translation reactions .
DNA has coded instructions for making proteins, and RNA translates the code.
Proteins make RNA, which then creates DNA.
In order to use DNA directly to make proteins, DNA would have to leave the nucleus, which would make it more susceptible to damage. Since it is the template for making proteins, it would be too risky to expose it to the rest of the cell.

DNA is transcribed into RNA which is translated into proteins. Only a small percentage of DNA and RNA become proteins. Some of the time the process stops after DNA is transcribed into RNA.

The sugar that distinguishes DNA from RNA is deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA. Deoxyribose lacks one oxygen atom compared to ribose, which affects the stability and functionality of the respective molecules.
In the process of transcription, DNA is used as a blueprint to make m-RNA which codes for a specific protein.
Proteins are made from the instructions in RNA through a process called translation. RNA carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes, where it is used as a template to assemble amino acids into proteins.
