Answer:

As a transcription factor

Explanation:

Testosterone is a male sex hormone secreted by the testicles which promote the growth of the male reproductive organs and the male characters like muscle buildup.

The hormone shows the paracrine effect and thus act on the target cell at distant. The mechanism of action of the testosterone is that it controls the gene expression of various other genes.

The testosterone binds the specific proteins which activate the expression of the gene that is they acts as a transcription factor which activates the expression.  

Thus, as a transcription factor is correct.

Answer:

Explanation:

La evidencia de un antepasado común en los seres vivos, que han encontrado durante décadas científicos que trabajan en numerosos campos, demuestra la descendencia común de estos seres, que la vida en la Tierra se desarrolló a partir de un último antepasado universal, que la evolución existe y que puede demostrar los procesos naturales que han dado como resultado la biodiversidad de la vida en la Tierra. Esta evidencia apoya la síntesis evolutiva moderna, la actual teoría científica que explica cómo y por qué cambia la vida a lo largo del tiempo.
