Explanation:

In the central dogma of molecular biology, DNA is transcribed into RNA (specifically mRNA in the context of protein synthesis), and then RNA is translated into proteins. So the first blank is for RNA (or messenger RNA, mRNA) as DNA serves as a template for RNA synthesis, and the second blank is for proteins (or polypeptides) as RNA directs protein synthesis.

Answer:

First blank: RNA (or mRNA, messenger RNA)
Second blank: proteins (or polypeptides)
