If a chemical agent acted to make the nuclear envelope pores impermeable to the passage of hormones,what effect would it have?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steroid hormones typically pass through the cell membrane and nuclear envelope to bind to intracellular receptors, affecting gene expression. If nuclear pores are impermeable, steroid hormones cannot enter the nucleus to exert their effects. Non-steroid hormones act on cell surface receptors and do not require nuclear entry, so they remain effective.
