Answer:

The information contained in DNA is expressed giving rise to proteins, through transcription processes, a step by which the information is transferred to a messenger RNA molecule (m-RNA) and, through the process of translation, the message carried by m-RNA is translated into protein.

DNA is transcribed into mRNA. Ribosomes "read" the mRNA and translate each group of three nucleotides into amino acids to build proteins, with the help of tRNA.
