Question

Hormones produced in species may show a similar effect in different species.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

True. Animal hormones are divided into three classes as:

• Amino acid derived: includes peptides, polypeptides and proteins
• Lipid-derived
• Steroids

The hormones belonging to class lipid-derived and steroid work well across all the vertebrate species while protein-based hormones may show more specificities towards the species.
