Answer:

The correct option is A. Steroid hormones exert their action by entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of a gene.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and regulate multiple biological processes. All steroid hormones exert their action by crossing the plasma membrane and by binding with their respective intracellular receptors. They stimulate cell growth in a very different way, their lipophilic nature gives them the ability to cross lipid barriers, so, without the need for extracellular signals, these hormones can easily enter the cell, cross the cytoplasm and reach the nucleus. There they bind to specific receptors that are associated with DNA promoter regions, modifying their structure and promoting the expression of the genes under their control.

In natural selection what must be true of traits that are passed down through generationsal selection where do the alleles or tr
goblinko [34]
I'm not sure if I will answer the question you asked, as I many have interpreted it incorrectly. In natural selection, there must be variance in the gene pool, the total frequency of alleles in a population. Now, one of the organisms may have a gene that somehow helps them survive from the selective force much better compared to the others. If this does happen, over time the gene pool will narrow down to become just the genes of that organism that survived better in the first place because the rest would be taken care of by the selective force. So, the alleles and trait come from the first organisms that had the advantage over the others of its species.

Que sucedería con la especie humana si debido a una futura mutación genética sus células no pudieran realizar los procesos de mi
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

la vida no podría continuar sin los procesos de división celular  

Explanation:

La mitosis es el proceso de división celular mediante el cual se producen dos células idénticas a partir de una sola célula. Durante la mitosis la célula crece y duplica la cantidad de ADN, con lo cual exactamente el mismo contenido de información genética es trasmitido a las sucesivas células que el proceso de mitosis va a dar origen. Por otra parte, la meiosis es un proceso celular en el cual se producen dos divisiones nucleares y citoplasmáticas (meiosis I y meiosis II) las cuales son precedidas por una fase de replicación del ADN. En la especie humana, la mitosis da lugar a células diploides (2n) con dos set completos de cromosomas homólogos, mientras que la meiosis da lugar a cuatro células haploides (n) llamadas gametos (el gameto masculino es el espermatozoide y el gameto femenino es el óvulo) las cuales contienen la mitad del número cromosómico al de la célula de origen. En organismos eucariotas pluricelulares tales como la especie humana, la función de la mitosis es producir más células somáticas (soma: cuerpo) con idéntico material genético, mientras que la función de la meiosis es producir células aptas para el proceso de reproducción, es decir, células con la mitad del material genético que se fusionarán para generar una célula diploide o zigoto a partir del cual y mediante sucesivas mitosis se desarrollará un organismo adulto.
