Ok, so the DNA has the instructions on how to build a specific living thing right? But the DNA is just a molecule. It doesn’t form a living organism on its own. So, how does the DNA tell the cells what kind of cell to be and how to build organs? How does the body “reads” the DNA to know what to do and how to do it? It’s a question I always had.

There’s another molecule called RNA polymerase, which makes a copy of a piece of the DNA in RNA. Then, that RNA makes it’s way to a ribosome. At the ribosome, the RNA provides a key for amino acids to combine together and form proteins which do things.
