Which of the following series of events are in the correct order?
A) chemical binds to receptor, signal transduction pathway stimulates transcription activator, target gene is transcribed and translated
B) signal transduction pathway stimulates receptor, transcription activator is activated by target gene
C) chemical binds to receptor, target gene is transcribed and translated, signal transduction pathway stimulates proteins that bring about desired changes
D) signal transduction pathway activates receptor, chemical binds to receptor, target gene stimulates transcription activator
E) chemical binds to receptor, signal transduction pathway stimulates target gene, target gene stimulates transcription activator

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for a typical signal transduction pathway involves a chemical (such as a hormone or neurotransmitter) binding to a receptor, which then initiates a signal transduction pathway. This pathway often leads to the activation of a transcription activator, which then stimulates the transcription and translation of a target gene. This process is accurately described in option A.
