DNA is the source of information for RNA production (or transcription) and therefore for protein synthesis. DNA is still the base of heredity due to its replication ability.

The messenger RNA is the template for protein synthesis (or translation). In this procedure rRNA and tRNA as well participate as the first carries amino acids for the polypeptide chain development and the second is a structural component of ribosome (that is, the organelles where proteins are formed).
