(a) Draw a skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid 4-androstene-3,17-dione, also called "andro,"
from the following description. Andro contains the tetracyclic steroid skeieton with carbonyl
groups at C3 and C17, a double bond between C4 and C5, and methyl groups bonded to C10
and C13. (b) Add wedges and dashes for all stereogenic centers with the following information:
the configuration at C10 is R, the configuration at C13 is S, and all substituents at ring fusions are
trans to each other.
