Reasoning - Because phosphate, sugar, nitrogenous make up the Acid !!! lol RNA is synthesis of protein. DNA is the control of genetics which is obvious.

Transcription of DNA forms mRNA which in turn serve as template for protein synthesis. RNA is a nucleic acid that participates in the synthesis of proteins.
