Figure 1. A simplified model of the glucocorticoid receptor signaling pathway Which of the following statements best predicts the effect of a mutation that results in a loss of the
glucocorticoid receptor's ligand binding function?
A)The transduction of the glucocorticoid signal across the plasma membrane will be blocked.
B)The glucocorticoid receptor will remain associated with the accessory proteins.
C)The rate of diffusion of glucocorticoid molecules into the cell will increase.
D)The concentration of glucocorticoid receptors inside the nucleus will increase.
