How does RNA participate in DNA replication?

Question:

DNA Replication:

DNA replication is a process that creates new copies of DNA for the cell. DNA replication is important because it creates new DNA molecules for the cells produced during cell division.

Protein Synthesis:

• In order for the genetic code of DNA to be turned into proteins, it must first be transcribed into mRNA molecules.
• The mRNA produced in the nucleus is then transported to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell, where they are read and translated into chains of amino acids.
• These chains of amino acids are then folded, and often combined with other chains, to form proteins; one type of protein is called an enzyme.
