Estrogens are small hydrophobic lipid hormones True or False

Biology
1 answer:
user100 [1]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Because of their chemical properties (hydrophobic lipid) these steroid hormones can pass through the plasma membrane and bind to their intracellular estrogen receptors in order to achieve their function ( modulate the expression of the genes).

Estrogen is the primary female sex hormone responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system. It is also involved in the formation of secondary sex characteristics. Because of their roles, estrogenes are widely used as medications.

Talja [164]

Answer:

1. Allele frequency of b = 0.09 (or 9%)

2. Allele frequency of B = 0.91 (0.91%)

3. Genotype frequency of BB = 0.8281 (or 82.81%)

4. Genotype frequency of Bb = 0.1638 (or 16.38%)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = the frequency of the dominant allele (represented here by B)  = 0.91

q = the frequency of the recessive allele (represented here by b)  = 0.09

For a population in genetic equilibrium:

p + q = 1.0 (The sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%.)

(p + q)^2 = 1

Therefore:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

in which:  

p^2 = frequency of BB (homozygous dominant)

2pq = frequency of Bb (heterozygous)

q^2 = frequency of bb (homozygous recessive)

p^2 = 0.91^2 = 0.8281

2pq = 2(0.91)(0.9) = 0.1638

sveta [45]
An active transport is the process by which a substance is transported or transferred from one area to another using a chemical energy in the course. 

<span>As oppose to passive transport, active transport’s key to its description uses energy to be able to transfer the said substance. This is important in a lot of aspects such as providing the needed elements or compounds in cellular activity.<span>
</span></span>
<span>Diffusion occurs because of the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.
