my answers are wrong

Previous Answers Correct The estrogen signaling pathway involves many critical steps. This patient's delayed puberty could have resulted from issues that arose at any step in the pathway. At this point, the only hypothesis on the list that can be ruled out is that the patient's estrogen level was too high. Since estrogen triggers puberty, high estrogen levels would not likely be associated with delayed puberty To further narrow down the list of possible causes, the patient's doctor will need to run some tests on the patient. Part B - Testing hypotheses The patient's doctor decided to put the patient on estrogen therapy for five months. Supplemental estrogen would be expected to correct some of the potential problems in estrogen signaling identified in Part A. This would allow estrogen signaling to go forward Unfortunately, after five months, the patient still showed no signs of puberty. Based on this result, which of the hypotheses from Part A can you now eliminate? Select all that apply Estrogen level too low Estrogen molecule is structurally defective Estrogen receptor cannot bind estrogen Too few estrogen receptors Estrogen receptor cannot enter nucleus

Explanation / Answer

Estrogen level too low

Estrogen molecule is structurally defective

If the patients estrogen level had been too low, then providing her with supplimental estrogen would have elevated the estrogen levels. If there was a defect in the structure of estrogen then the suuplimental estrogen would have helped.
