DNA is responsible for carrying the genetic information of a cell and have thousands of genes. Each gene may serve as an ingredient on how to build a protein molecule. Proteins carries out important tasks for the cell functions or can also serve as building blocks. The flow of information from the genes decides the protein composition and hence, the functions of the cell.
The DNA is placed in the nucleus, organized into chromosomes. Every cell must contain the genetic information and the DNA is therefore duplicated before a cell divides (replication). When proteins are required, the corresponding genes get transcribed into RNA (transcription). The RNA is first processed so that non-coding parts are removed (processing) and is then transported out of the nucleus (transport). Outside the nucleus, the proteins are made based upon the code in the RNA (translation).
Therefore, DNA, RNA and protein all are interconnected to many extent.
