To Which Portion of the DNA Does a Steroid Hormone

Question

To which portion of the DNA does a steroid hormone receptor bind?
A) a response element
B) an enhancer
C) a gene promoter
D) an operator

Accepted Answer

Steroid hormone receptors bind to specific DNA sequences known as response elements, which are located in the promoter region of target genes. These response elements act as docking sites for the receptor-hormone complexes, enabling them to regulate the transcription of the target genes.
