When DNA strands are separated by the enzyme helicase, one of the two strands become the template i.e. free nucleotides from the cytoplasm forming the mRNA runs along this strand and reads the triplet codes by complementary base pairing. The resulting triplet codons of the mRNA, then goes to determine the anticodons and hence amino acid sequencing. Therefore the DNA is responsible for imparting the information for the amino acids to be formed and their sequence, and hence the type of protein.
DNA, is a genetic material present inside the nucleus which has the information that helps in the synthesis of RNA and proteins. They have information which help in the formation of mRNA that specifies a particular protein product. mRNA acts as a template translating DNA code into specific protein. Thus DNA indirectly participates in protein synthesis by taking place in the RNA synthesis
A section of DNA that codes for a given protein is copied (transcripted) onto a mRNA molecule which travels out to a ribosome where translation occurs.
