STOGS DNA and protein synthesis

The central dogma of biology states that information flows in one direction from 

• nuclei to RNA to cytoplasm
• ribosomes to proteins to DNA
• genes to nuclei to ribosomes
• DNA to RNA to proteins

Choose the nucleotide sequence of the RNA strand that would be complementary to the following strand: 
GTAGTCA

• UATUAGA
• ACGACTG
• CAUCAGU
• CATCAGT

The main function of tRNA is to...

• carry a message that, when translated, forms proteins
• form a portion of ribosomes
• string together complementary RNA and DNA strands
• bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes
