Answer:

They act to regulate the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive)

Explanation:

Testosterone is a reproductive hormone in male humans. Testosterone as well as its closely related hormones e.g dihydrotestosterone, all belong to a class of hormones called "Androgens".

Androgens operate by entering into a cell and binds with specific androgen-receptor proteins (AR proteins). This contact activates the AR proteins, forming an androgen-receptor complex.

This complex then translocates into the nucleus of specific cells to bind to the DNA. Once it binds, it either inhibits or promotes the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive). Hence, AR proteins are transcription factors because they play a significant role in regulating transcription of specific genes i.e. turning 'on' or 'off' of specific genes.

This process helps to direct the development of male sexual characteristics.

Infer How do dominant and recessive<br> factors interact? sc.7..16.1
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The resulting characteristic is due to both alleles being expressed equally. An example of this is the blood group AB which is the result of codominance of the A and B dominant alleles. Recessive alleles only show their effect if the individual has two copies of the allele (also known as being homozygous) If you were to talk about dominant and recessive factors in human traits, such as brown/green eyes, brown would be dominant, only needing to be in 1 parent to pass down to the child. (i have no idea if this helps or not-- it's all i know.. sorry, ;w;)

Acetylcholine receptors and acetylcholinesterase are membrane proteins that can be found on the ____________________ cell of a s
Masja [62]

Answer:

<h2>Postsynaptic </h2>

Explanation:

Acetylcholine receptor is a kind of integral membrane protein that has a very important role in the binding of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine and some other. Generally, these receptors are present on the postsynaptic cells to receive acetylcholine neurotransmitter to initiate the signal in the neurons cells and some other.  

     Acetylcholinesterase is a kind of important enzyme that has many important functions in the dissociation of acetylcholine and some other that function as neurotransmitters. This enzyme is also present in the postsynaptic cells.
