The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier proteins in the blood.  In other words, they are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane.  They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.

Chaperone proteins or chaperones assist in the proper folding of proteins. Explain the process.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Proteostasis is mediated by chaperone proteins and protease systems, together with cellular clearance mechanisms such as autophagy and lysosomal degradation.

Chaperone proteins control assembly and inaccurate folding by binding to and stabilizing partly or completely unfolded protein polypeptides till the polypeptide chain is completely synthesized. Chaperone proteins also confirm the stability of unfolded polypeptide chains as they are being translocated into the subcellular organelles.

Alenkasestr [34]

A missense mutation causes premature chain (protein) termination. A missense mutation causes premature chain (protein) terminati
timurjin [86]

Answer: The statement is false

Explanation:

NONSENSE mutation, NOT MISSENSE mutation causes premature chain (protein) termination.

Missense mutation is simply a kind of point mutation where a single nucleotide is changed to cause substitution of a different amino acid, thus resulting in a non-functional protein.

So, non-functional protein is caused by missense mutation making the statement false
