The effect does the chemical referred to as a mutagen has is it causes a permanent change in the genetic material (dna) and is denoted as option D.

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

This is referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid and is the genetic material in living organisms.

Mutagen on the other hand are agents which cause mutations which means alterations in the DNA of organisms. It affects the transcription and replication of the DNA thereby leading to cell death and other effects such as diseased condition.

This is therefore the reason why option D was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

sashaice [31]

Answer: Substances that are protein based cannot cross the lipid cell membrane, but can exert their effect by binding to the proteins based receptors present on the lipid bilayer.

Explanation:

Hormones such as calcitonin , Parathyroid hormone and pituatry horomones are proteins and water soluble.They cannot cross lipid bilayer but can bind to ligand binding protein receptors.

These receptors are protein macromolecules that are specific in nature for specific hormones.

After binding to the receptors, these hormone-recpetor complexes activate second messengers and regulate the downstream effects.
