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).

Describe what occurs to a molecule of the enzyme trypsin AFTER it binds to a molecule of protein?
Yakvenalex [24]
<span>Enzymes are crucial contributors to protein digestion. Protein-digesting enzymes are referred to as proteinases or proteases. Protein generally takes the form of very complex molecules arranged in chains of amino acids. So the bonds binding these complex molecules together must first be broken down

If it takes 16.73 mL of a 0.253 M LiOH solution to neutralize10.00 mL of HBr, what is its concentration?
krek1111 [17]
The neutralization reaction is written as:

LiOH + HBr = LiBr + H2O

0.253 mol LiOH / L solution ( .01673 L solution ) ( 1 mol HBr / 1 mol LiOH ) = 4.233 x 10^-3 mol HBr

Concentration of HBr solution = <span>4.233 x 10^-3 mol HBr / .01 L solution = 0.423 M HBr solution</span>
