What is the most likely mechanism by which testosterone functions inside a cell?

Biology

<span>Testosterone achieves his effect by binding to his androgen receptor (nuclear). Because testosterone is steroid hormone (derived from cholesterol), it has a possibility to free diffuse through the cell membrane. When testosterone binds, the receptor undergoes a structural change which allows it to move into the cell nucleus and dimerize. Receptor dimer than binds directly to the specific sequence of the DNA called hormone response element (HRE) which results in regulation of gene expression.</span>

Testosterone functions inside a cell by binding with a receptor protein that enters the nucleus and activates specific genes. Testosterone is the principle male sex hormones in mammals, birds and other vertebrates. Its effects are exerted by; Testosterone can activate the androgen receptor itself or after conversion to 5 alpha dihydrotestosterone by the enzyme 5 alpha reductase.

Which of the following is/are true?
dem82 [27]

Answer: option B) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation is an event/situation whereby organisms of the same species:

- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e do not live in geographical isolation)

- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory to yield new species or offsprings.

This sexual selection then results in generations of offsprings that are genetically different from the rest of the same species due to uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species.

Thus, only option B is true.

The ________ duct empties into the vestibule at the level of the second upper molar.
gavmur [86]

The parotid duct empties into the vestibule at the level of the second upper molar.

Around the back of your lower jaw is where the parotid gland is located. Saliva then passes via a tube known as the parotid duct. The duct's opening is where the saliva spills into your mouth. Different factors might cause the parotid duct to become clogged. The region may swell up as a result of this.

Each gland's front faces a lengthy excretory channel called the parotid duct, which emerges just beneath the masseter muscle. The duct enters the mouth by the buccinator muscle and opens on the inner cheek surface, typically next to the maxillary second tooth
