Answer:

They serve as chemical messengers.

Explanation:

Steroid may be defined as the molecule that are made of large number of non polar molecules and are hydrophobic in nature. The cholesterol is an important steroid present in mammals.

Steroids as a precursor for the formation of the important hormones. Steroidal hormones plays an important role in the growth and metabolism of the organisms. The sex hormone are also made of steroids. They regulate the chemical messages in the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

Steroids are defined as active organic bio-molecules, having four rings with a specific molecular configuration. Steroids play role in two major functions: as hormones or signaling molecules and as structural components of plasma membrane.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ccrm is a DNA methyl transferase. This enzyme helps in switching from fully methylated stated to hemimethylated state at its target motif. In this way this gene helps in expression of genes which helps in controlling the cell cycle progression.

When the Ccrm gene is found to be non functional in form. Then there is no switching occur from fully methylated to hemi methylated state at its target motifs. That's why there is not found expression of those genes which are involved in the cell cycle progression. In this way there is not found replication of DNA and there is not found replication of chromosome. That's why there is found single chromatid containing chromosome even after S phase. That's why the daughter cell will not get equal amount of genetic material. And cell cycle becomes futile.
