Answer: The true statement is: Autocrine signals are produced by and act upon the same cell

Explanation:

Autocrine signals are made by cells producing hormones or molecules that acts on the same cell that produces it.

Usually, these autocrine hormones bind to receptors positioned in the cells producing them and thereby signal/exert changes in the cell.

Other options contains false statements

- Steroid hormones are produced ONLY when needed, not produced in advance and then stored

- Neurohormones do not help in the transmission of nerve impulses; So, they ARE NOT neurotransmitters

- Paracrine signals exert their effects on nearby cells; thus, they are not for long distance communication.

The ONLY true statement is that 'Autocrine signals are produced by and act upon the same cell.'

The correct answer is: (a) RNA polymerase (along with its sigma subunit) can initiate transcription on its own.

More differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription:

• In prokaryotes transcription occurs in the cytoplasm (unlike in eukaryotes in nucleus) and it is simultaneous with translation,

• In prokaryotes there is only one type of RNA polymerase (in eukaryotes there are three types of them).

• There is no sigma subunit in eukaryotes, the initiation of transcription begins thanks to initiation factors.

• Promoter region in prokaryotes contains pribnow box, while in eukaryotes it contains TATA and CAT box.
