Lipid soluble hormones which pass through the membrane bind with receptors at the nucleus and then increase the rate of mRNA synthesis to
A)Decrease the output of a specific protein from that cell
B)Increase the production of the protein transcribed from the DNA
C)Allow for rRNA and tRNA biosynthesis to proceed at an increased rate
D)Directly trigger ribosomal sub-unit disconjunction
E)Decrease the metabolic output of the cell to match the needs of the tissue around it

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipid soluble hormones can pass through the cell membrane and bind with receptors in the nucleus, forming a hormone-receptor complex. This complex then binds to specific DNA sequences and increases the rate of transcription of the corresponding genes, leading to an increase in mRNA synthesis. This results in an increase in the production of the protein transcribed from the DNA.
