When a steroid hormone and a polypeptide hormone exert similar effects on a population of target cells, then ________.

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal
  1. the steroid and polypeptide hormones must use the same biochemical mechanisms
  2. the steroid and polypeptide hormones must bind to the same receptor protein
  3. the steroid hormones affect the synthesis of effector proteins, whereas polypeptide hormones activate effector proteins already present in the cell
  4. the steroid hormones affect the activity of certain proteins within the cell, whereas polypeptide hormones directly affect the processing of mRNA

In comparing the genomes of humans and those of other higher primates, it is seen that humans have a large metacentric pair we call chromosome #2 among our 46 chromosomes, while the other primates of this group have 48 chromosomes and any pair like the human #2 pair is not present; instead the primate groups each have two pairs of midsize acrocentric chromosomes. What is the most likely explanation?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior

Unequal crossing over during Prophase I can result in one sister chromosome with a deletion and another with a duplication. A mutated form of hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin Lepore, is known in the human population. Hemoglobin Lepore has a deleted set of amino acids. If it was caused by unequal crossing over, what would be an expected consequence?
