question 61

Multiple Choice

• A) The concentration of thyroxine varies in different organisms. Invertebrate organisms do not have as much thyroxine as vertebrate organisms.
• B) Thyroxine and its receptor molecules have different binding affinities in different organisms.
• C) Receptor molecules for thyroxine are located on different tissues in different organisms.
• D) The function of thyroxine in a particular tissue is determined by the genes that are transcribed by the activated thyroxine receptor.
