thanks!

DNA is made into RNA through the process of Transcription. Transcription is the process through which a DNA sequence is enzymatically copied by an RNA polymerase to produce a complementary RNA. Or, in other words, the transfer of genetic information from DNA into RNA. In the case of protein-encoding DNA, transcription is the beginning of the process that ultimately leads to the translation of the genetic code (via the mRNA intermediate) into a functional peptide or protein. Transcription has some proofreading mechanisms, but they are fewer and less effective than the controls for DNA; therefore, transcription has a lower copying fidelity than DNA replication.

DNA is "read" by a complex of enzymes (usually more than 10 proteins!) in order to make RNA. The specific enzymes needed depend upon whether the DNA is present within a "typical" cell or whether it is a virus' DNA being made into RNA. Generally, some enzymes are needed to "unwind" the DNA because it is normally too wound up to be read. Then other enzymes, including RNA Polymerase (also abbreviated as RNA Pol II) read the DNA and attach RNA building blocks to each other to make the RNA (a process called "transcription".

The dna helix gets copied and split down the middle like a zipper then the codeon and anti codeons match up to form 2 seperate strands 1 being Dna one being RNA

If I remember correctly, RNA actually makes DNA. The DNA unzips and the RNA goes in and reads the code of the DNA. The RNA then goes to a protein and DNA comes out the other side. The DNA then pairs up and the process starts all over again.

Dna and Rna are both example of nucleic acids. Rna contain sugar ribose and dna contains the sugar deoxyribose. So I dont think that DNA makes RNA

Look in your notes! It'll tell you how much your teacher wants you to know.
