Read the following statements that describe the action of steroid hormones. What is the correct order in which they occur?
1) The hormone binds to a receptor and forms a hormone-receptor complex.
2) The hormone passes across the cell membrane into the cell.
3) mRNA moves into the cytoplasm and directs protein synthesis.
4) The hormone-receptor complex enters the nucleus and binds to regions of DNA.
5) Specific genes are transcribed to mRNA.

A. 1,2,4,5,3

B. 2,1,4,5,3

C. 1,4,3,5,2

D. 2,5,3,1,4
