Identify how a hormone molecule performs its function. formation of mRNA in the nucleus initiation of DNA replication because of
a signal given by the hormone secretion of hormone by tissue synthesis of protein molecule by mRNA and tRNA binding of the hormone molecule with its receptor of the cell secretion of protein by the cell
binding of the hormone molecule with its receptor of the cell.
Explanation:
Hormones are chemical messengers secreted or released by endocrine glands to effect a response in another location called target location. Hormones are proteinous molecules and like every other protein, its function is determined by its shape.
Hormones function or effect their changes by binding to the receptor of the target cell. The hormone recognizes and will only bind to its own receptor molecule on its target cell on order to bring about any change. This defines the specificity of the hormone.
