Answer:

B. It is a non-steroid hormone.

Explanation:

Hormones can be divided into two categories based on their binding with the receptors: Some hormones are water soluble like peptide hormones and catecholamines, they cannot cross the cell membrane of the target cell and so they bind to the receptors on the plasma membrane. Binding to membrane receptors further leads to activation of intra-cellular enzymes leading to physiological change. These hormones can also be referred as non-steroid hormones. One good example is insulin hormone. Insulin binds to the membrane receptor and brings about the physiological change by activation of protein kinase inside the cell.

The other group of hormones are called steroid hormones and thyroid hormones which can cross the cell membrane and bind to the intra-cellular receptors. The hormone-receptor complex then binds with or activates the specific portion of DNA strand, which in turn initiates transcription and translation of specific genes for bringing the physiological change.

A number of major evolutionary innovations arose in the fish lineage. Check all of the evolutionary innovations associated with

Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) Teeth arose from the rough scales of ancestral sharks.

b) Skeletal developments leading to the amphibian movement onto land probably evolved from lobe-finned fishes.

d) The anterior gill arch formed the basis for the evolution of the vertebrate jaw.

Explanation:

The animals we know today have physical characteristics that are evolutionary adaptations of characteristics of their ancestors, which have undergone a series of evolutions and modifications over the years giving rise to new species that have resulted in the species we know today. This process of evolutions and adaptations also happened with the ancestral species of fish, which allowed that today, they had characteristics such as teeth and jaws. Many of these evolutions occurred even in different species, such as the evolution that allowed the amphibians to have a skeleton, which evolved from the spine fins of fish.
