Solution:

Thyroxine is a lipid-soluble hormone, which diffuses into the cell, where it binds to intracellular receptors, migrate to the nucleus, and activate specific target sequences of DNA. Thyroxine is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is important in controlling both development and maturation. It also controls metabolism in adult organisms.
