A genetic mutation leading to under expression of a cell membrane receptor would have the most profound effect on: O an amine hormone O a steroid hormone O all hormones would be affected O no hormones would be affected QUESTION 2 A tumor on the anterior pituitary gland would most likely cause: O a defect in aquaporin activation due to effects on ADH O an increase in milk ejection during nursing due to effect on oxytocin O abnormal growth due to effects on growth hormone O more than one of the choices is correct QUESTION 3 Read the following excerpt from a recent paper published in Nature Medicine. Non-invasive detection of a common, surgically correctable form of hypertension "Primary aldosteronism is the most common surgically correctable form of hypertension. It is caused by excessive production of the adrenal steroid hormone aldosterone, which is often result of an adrenocortical (aldosterone-producing) adenoma." adenoma = tumor hypertension high blood pressure "...the identification of patients for potentially curative adrenalectomy can be challenging. In this issue of Nature Medicine, Wu et al. test the utility of a noninvasive functional adrenal imaging procedure for surgical management in primary aldosteronism." For the excess aldosterone produced by the tumor to impact blood pressure, it would need to be able to travel through the blood and influence the cells of the body.

Need help on these its non graded

A genetic mutation leading to under expression of a cell membrane receptor would have the most profound effect on:
an amine hormone
a steroid hormone
all hormones would be affected
no hormones would be affected
QUESTION 2
A tumor on the anterior pituitary gland would most likely cause:
a defect in aquaporin activation due to effects on ADH
an increase in milk ejection during nursing due to effect on oxytocin
abnormal growth due to effects on growth hormone
more than one of the choices is correct
QUESTION 3
Read the following excerpt from a recent paper published in Nature Medicine.
Non-invasive detection of a common, surgically correctable form of hypertension
"Primary aldosteronism is the most common surgically correctable form of hypertension. It is caused by excessive production of the adrenal steroid hormone aldosterone, which is often a result of an adrenocortical
(aldosterone-producing) adenoma."
*adenoma = tumor
*hypertension = high blood pressure
"...the identification of patients for potentially curative adrenalectomy can be challenging. In this issue of Nature Medicine, Wu et al. test the utility of a noninvasive functional adrenal imaging procedure for surgical
management in primary aldosteronism."
For the excess aldosterone produced by the tumor to impact blood pressure, it would need
to be able to travel through the blood and influence the cells of the body. Select all that apply.
an intracellular receptor
an extracellular receptor
a carrier protein
a secretory vessel

Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction :-

Genetic mutation refers to a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, resulting in a different version of that gene. This change can have various effects on an organism, ranging from no effect to significant alterations in physical traits, development, or function
