An enzyme called RNA polymerase deciphers this code and converts it into RNA, a molecule that closely resembles DNA. This transfer of life\u2019s code from DNA to RNA is called transcription. Next, a molecular machine called \u2018ribosome\u2019 uses the message encoded in RNA to build proteins \u2013 the molecules performing most of the essential functions of our cells.
