35. Synthesis of pre-rRNA occurs in the (A) cytoplasm. (B) endoplasmic reticulum. (C) extranucleolar area of the nucleus. (D) nucleolus.

36. Steroid hormones activate transcription by (A) binding to a nuclear receptor. (B) phosphorylating a protein kinase. (C) binding to specific cell-surface receptors. (D) inhibiting a histone deacetylase.
