Answer:

RNA determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins and polypeptides by a two-step process: transcription of DNA produces mRNA in the nucleus, then translation of the mRNA to tRNA takes place in the ribosome in the cytoplasm.

During translation, the information to build the RNA comes from messenger RNA (mRNA)
