**Question:**

In the hedgehog signaling pathway, which of the following enters the nucleus to activate transcription upon ligand binding to the receptor?

**Options:**

A) Smoothened  
B) Full-length (intact) Gli  
C) Cleaved Gli  
D) Patched  
E) Shh  

**Explanation:**

This question pertains to the mechanism of the hedgehog signaling pathway, which is crucial for various developmental processes. It involves the activation of specific transcription factors that enter the nucleus to regulate gene expression. The correct answer can be deduced by understanding the roles of the components listed in the options.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Cell signaling pathways are found in multicellular organisms and they fall under the mechanisms involved in developmental biology. Hedgehog signaling leads to activation of cell division or Mitogenesis. This pathway is activated by the Hedgehog Protein (Hh).
