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.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Flat worms belong to Phylum- Platyhelminthes as they have flat body because they don't have any coelom in their body or called acoelomate

Explanation:

Coelom is called as the true body cavity that is found in Porifera and Cnidaria but when it comes to platyhelminthes, the coelom is not found and thus they have flat like structure and they are categorized under first triploblastic  animals that is they contain 3 tissue layer which are found in higher animals (Ectoderm, Mesoderm and endoderm) also cephalization takes place in this parasitic group which indicates evolution towards higher, complex organisms.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

A) 1:2:1

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is an effect observed in the organisms in which the neither of the two alleles controlling a trait is dominant or recessive instead produces a phenotype formed by the mixture of the effect of the two alleles.  Therefore in incomplete dominance, a new trait is produced which is formed by both the alleles.

In the given question, if incomplete dominance is observed in a monohybrid cross which results in two homozygous genotypes and two heterozygous genotypes. In F2 the phenotypic generation produced will be 1:2:1 as the heterozygous genotype will form a new phenotype.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer
