Answer:

(B) a decrease in transcriptional activity of certain genes

Explanation:

Testosterone is a steroid hormone, for which receptors are present inside the cell as it can easily pass the lipid bilayer. Like other steroid hormones, testosterone shows its affects by modulating transcription of its responsive genes.

After binding with receptor, it makes a hormone-receptor complex that binds with promoters of its responsive genes. If a drug is inhibiting response of testosterone, it must be decreasing the transcriptional activity of some genes, which are modulated by testosterone.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

Nuclei with a higher than desired neutron-to-proton ratios tend to undergo which type of decay?
alexira [117]
Hey there!

Nuclei with a high neutron-to-proton ratio usually undergo a beta emission.

Beta emissions, unlike some other types, is radioactive decay throughout these particles, and can have half lives like other types of exponential (usually) decay. Neutrino, along with <em>beta rays,</em> are coming from, or emitted from the nucleus - hence the name.

Hope this helps!
