Answer:

A. global temperatures drop several degrees after several massive volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

  • If any event causes widespread destruction of life on earth that would rapidly decrease the biodiversity, then such an event is called a mass extinction.
  • All the organisms living on the planet require an optimum temperature for their survival, besides the temperature also influences the geological activities such as the weather, rainfall patterns, survival of plants and hence the amount of oxygen and control of pollution.
  • Due to the importance of temperature, the drop in it globally would have a major impact on the living beigns.
  • Since a drop in global temperatures would affect the organisms all over the planet this will lead to mass extinction.

Answer:

d) They would bind glucocorticoids, and initiate estrogen-dependent synthesis

Explanation:

Both Glucocorticoids and estrogens Hormones have important but distinct physiologic functions. These two hormones belongs to the two classes of steroid hormones. Both of these hormones binds to their specific receptors.

DNA binding domain is the domain that after activation by external factors such as hormones express the specific proteins by binding to specific region of the DNA.

As DNA binding domain of a glucocorticoid receptor is altered with DNA binding domain of estrogen receptor so it means binding site of the glucocorticoid hormone for glucocorticoid receptor remains the same and binds to glucocorticoids but on binding it activates the estrogen DNA binding domain which further binds to specific region in the DNA which initiates estrogen dependent synthesis.
