Answer:
Statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct:
"Hormones can be peptides, steroids, or amino acid derivatives."
"Hormones can stimulate the synthesis of target proteins through the activation of specific genes."
"Hormones can increase the cellular uptake of metabolites."
Explanation:
Hormones are basically proteins that are released under particular conditions to bring about a certain response in the body. They can activate genes and even change how cells respond to metabolites, for instance, insulin and glucagon are two hormones that regulate the level of sugar in the blood. Another example is the hormone adrenaline, which is released in the 'flight-or-fight' response to prepare the body in taking action.
Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Answer:
This question is incomplete, the remaining part of the question is:
" Explain how this disorder can be passed on in the family. In your response, be sure to: Identify the genotypes of the mother and father"
Please find the explanation below
Explanation:
According to this question, the Galactosemia trait is an inherited disorder in humans that causes inability to digest the sugars in milk. The allele for normal gene (G) is dominant over the allele for galactosemia (g). This means that a heterozygous human (Gg) will not be normal (no galactosemia).
In this family, female who is heterozygous for the galactosemia trait (Gg) and a male who has galactosemia (gg) have a child. Note that each parent will produce gametes as follows:
Gg - G and g gametes
gg - only "g" gametes
To inherit this disorder or for the parents to pass on this disorder to their child (children), they have to both contribute the allele for galactosemia (g) in their gametes to produce a child that has two galactosemia alleles in his/her genotype i.e. gg
This means that in this cross (see attached image), the probability of their child to have the disorder is 1/2 or 50% while the probability of having a normal child is also 1/2 or 50%.
