B) Alter the rate of production of receptors
C) Affect the response to a hormone
D) Decrease the level of hormones in their vicinity

Accepted Answer

Mutations can affect hormone receptors by resulting in missing or defective receptors, altering the rate of production of receptors, affecting the response to a hormone, and altering the binding site of receptors. However, mutations cannot decrease the level of hormones in their vicinity as this is determined by the secretion and distribution of the hormones in the body.
