Each distinct cell type in your body expresses a unique collection of proteins that dictates the function of that cell. how might this affect the signaling process? would human growth hormone (hgh) affect hepatocytes (liver cells) and chondrocytes (cells within cartilage) in the same way?

There are three phases of cell signaling. These are reception, transduction, and response. Now, each kind of cell exhibit distinct receptor molecules, transducer proteins, and react accordingly.  

The structural variations in these proteins result in the difference in response and attentiveness of a cell to any particular molecule. The growth hormone or the hGH functions both on cartilages and liver, however, the actions of both are different.  

On the muscles and cartilages, it stimulates the MAPK/ERK2 pathway and encourages the growth of the cell. On the liver, it stimulates the JAK/STAT pathway and generates IGF. Hence, the receptors, signaling molecules, and the kind of cells produce variations in the procedure's pathway.  

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.

age range would be the answer
