>>But the RNA/hormones are the ones that actually build the body while the DNA is only the blueprints.
 
Only the blue prints? LOL.  Which came first the DNA or the RNA?   Kind of a divine paradox, isn't it?

What you are attempting to obfuscate is a process called "RNA Transcription".

 

RNA Transcription


This figure illustrates the process of RNA transcription. As the enzyme RNA polymerase moves along the region of DNA to be transcribed, the DNA backbones separate, yielding the template and inactive strands. Nucleotides are assembled following the rule of basepairing, in the 5' to 3' direction. Ultimately, the formed RNA separates from the DNA template and the backbone strands of the DNA rejoin (as shown at the bottom of the figure). This process is also depicted in the animation below:
