Hormones are proteins that act as chemical-signaling molecules in the body. Each hormone plays a unique role in regulating processes such as growth, development, and reproduction. The diagram shows the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin. The amino acid sequence of Oxytocin consists of six amino acids connected in sequence, in the shape of a hexagon: T-y-r, I-l-e, G-l-n, A-s-n, C-y-s, and C-y-s. Attached to one of the C-y-s amino acids is a chain of three amino acids: P-r-o, L-e-u, G-l-y. The amino acid sequence of Vasopressin consists of six amino acids connected in sequence, in the shape of a hexagon: T-y-r, P-h-e, G-l-n, A-s-n, C-y-s, and C-y-s. Attached to one of the C-y-s amino acids is a chain of three amino acids: P-r-o, A-r-g, G-l-y.

Using the diagram, which THREE sentences correctly describe the hormones?

A

C
The hormones have the same amino acids.

D
The hormones have two unique amino acids.

E
The hormones have the same number of amino acids.
