When RNA's base sequence is used to determine the base sequence of a new strand of DNA, that is called reverse transcription.

This is because the process is the reverse of transcription, which involves copying the base sequence of DNA to form RNA, including messenger RNA (mRNA).

How do you convert DNA to RNA?

RNA cannot be transformed into DNA unless you take into account the recycling of nitrogen bases. If you mean the copying of an RNA template to create a DNA strand, then the pertinent enzyme is called reverse transcriptase.
