E) alternative splicing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steroid hormones act as inducers in this context, triggering the transcription of specific genes related to lipid metabolism in target cells. This process involves the hormone binding to its receptor, forming a complex that can then act as a transcription factor to induce the expression of certain genes.
