Steroid hormone

  • The cell signaling pathways induced by the steroid hormones regulate specific genes within the cell's DNA. The hormones and receptor complex act as transcription regulators by increasing or decreasing the synthesis of mRNA molecules from specific genes.
  • Steroid hormones are not able to target every cell within the body, so the overall response is slower. They bind to receptors on the cell's surface and the receptors aid in helping the steroid hormones enter the cell.
  • Hormones work by binding to protein receptors either inside target cells or on their plasma membranes. The binding of a steroid hormone forms a hormone-receptor complex that affects gene expression in the nucleus of the target cell.
  • Steroids pass into a cell's nucleus, bind to specific receptors and genes and trigger the cell to make proteins.

Kryger [21]

The complete statement is this: CNIDARIA exhibit two radial body forms, the polyp and the medusa, and use stinging cells to capture prey.

Cnidaria is categorized under the Animalia kingdom. It is made up of more that eleven thousand species, which all live in aquatic habitats; either fresh or salt water environments. There are four basic classes of cnidarians, these are: Anthozoa, Cubozoa, Scyphozoan and Hydrozoa. Their common feature is the cnidocytes, which are specialized cells that they use to capture their preys.  

Cnidaria have two radial body types, which are called polyp and medusa. They used cnidocytes (stinging cells) to capture the foods they feed on.

State one way a complete blockage at location X would affect the reproductive process ? Please answer !!
Romashka [77]

Answer:

There would be no fertilization.

Explanation:

When the fallopian tube is blocked, even after ovulation (an egg released by the ovary), it will be unable to travel down the fallopian tube towards the uterus. This way, even when the sperm swim up to the tube (where fertilization  of the egg usually occur) after copulation, it will be unable to meet the egg and fertilize it. There will never be conception as long as there is blockage on location X.
