Question

In humans, the hormone testosterone enters cells and binds to specific proteins, which in turn bind to specific sites on the cells' DNA. These proteins probably act to do what? See Concept 18.2

Answer 1

Answer:

Translation may be defined as the formation of the protein product from the RNA molecule. Different enzymes and proteins are required for the process of translation. Translation involves three steps - initiation, elongation and termination.

The testosterone hormone in humans helps in the development of the male secondary sexual characters. The testosterone hormone binds with the proteins and then protein binds to the specific DNA sites. These proteins helps in the transcription of the certain genes and may acts as the enhancers.
