Answer:

b. a decrease in transcriptional activity of certain genes.

Explanation:

Testosterone is a lipid-soluble steroid hormone and is a derivative of cholesterol. Being a lipid-soluble hormone, it enters the target cells and binds to respective nuclear receptors. Receptors for steroid hormones such as testosterone are mostly transcription factors. Binding of testosterone to its receptors activates them. The activated transcription factors then bind to specific DNA sequences to increase the expression of certain sets of genes.

A drug that inhibits the cellular response towards testosterone would not allow upregulation of the target genes. Therefore, the cells would exhibit reduced expression of certain sets of genes that are otherwise expressed at a higher rate in the response to testosterone.

In protists exhibiting both asexual and sexual modes of reproduction, what factor frequently triggers the shift from asexual rep
lions [1.4K]

Answer:changes in environmental conditions

Explanation: The kingdom protista includes algae with chlorophyll and are autotrophic in nutrition.They may be Unicellular or multicelllular.some are colonial and others are filamentuous.some protista undergoes both sexual and asexual reproduction eg chlamydomonas and ulothrix.

In asexual reproduction,the cell divides by mitosis;first in the nucleus and chloroplast and later in the cytoplasm.

sexual reproduction occurs when conditions are quite unfavourable.This is essential because recombination of genes occurs during sexual reproduction ,thus leading to genetic variation.the zygote formed may remain in a dormant state until conditions becomes favourable
