DNA carries the building instructions for proteins, and these plans are carried out by RNA.

DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA which is translated to form proteins. So yes, the DNA contains the information for the proteins, however, there are a few intermediate steps.

Each gene codes for a specific protein. The code is transcribed in the nucleus of the cell forming mRNA. This mores to the cytoplasm where it is translated into a protein on a ribosome.

DNA has the code for how to build the proteins.
