Ribonucleic acid or RNA, a molecule that aids in protein synthesis

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to assemble a piece of furniture, but the instructions are written in a language you don't understand. Just like you would need a translator to convert those instructions into something you can comprehend and follow, RNA acts as a translator that helps convert genetic information from DNA into proteins your body can use. In this analogy, RNA is the translator that takes the complex 'language' of DNA (the unreadable instructions) and translates it into a form (protein synthesis instructions) that the cellular machinery can understand and use to build proteins, much like assembling furniture from translated instructions.
