DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) is used in the process of "Transcription" to make a one-sided copy of RNA (ribose nucleic acid). This strand of RNA, also called mRNA (messenger-RNA) is used to create proteins and amino acids. After leaving the nucleus of a cell, it enters the cytoplasm (the fluidic cell matrix) and joins with a ribosome which, using codons and tRNA in the process of "Translation", produces the proteins and amino acids that result from the process dictated by the DNA and represented by the mRNA.
