Answer:

c) A cell must have the appropriate receptor before it can bind to the hormone.

Explanation:

Hormones are chemical signals that are secreted into the circulatory system acting as regulators within the body, and even though they can reach any part on the body, <em>only certain types of cells are equipped to respond, these cells are known as target cells, when the hormone reaches a cell with an adequate receptors it triggers a signal transduction and then a response.</em>

Therefore the correct answer is c.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 2,70,000 nucleotide long gene.

The gene refers to the protein coding sequence of the (deoxyribonucleic acid) DNA.

The nucleotide sequence of a gene corresponds to the codon sequence if mRNA. The codon sequence of mRNA then codes for the amino acid sequence of the protein.

The codon refers to the set of three nucleotide which codes for a specific amino acid. For example, CAG codes for glutamine, AUG codes for methionine et cetera.

So, if the polypeptide chain consists of 90,000 amino acids then it must contain 90,000 x 3 nucleotides which are equal to 2,70,000 nucleotides.
