Select the correct statement about estrogen control: 1. GnRH stimulates ovarian follicular development and causes FSH and LH release from the anterior pituitary. 2. Progesterone production inhibits estrogen production. 3. Estrogen exerts negative feedback inhibition on the hypothalamus and pituitary. 4. All of the above.

A ligand binds two different receptors with a $K_{\mathrm{d}}$ value of $10^{-7} \mathrm{M}$ for receptor 1 and a $K_{\mathrm{d}}$ value of $10^{-9} \mathrm{M}$ for receptor 2 For which receptor does the ligand show the greater affinity? Calculate the fraction of receptors that have a bound ligand $\left([\mathrm{RL}] / \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{T}}\right)$ in the case of receptor 1 and receptor 2 if the concentration of free ligand is $10^{-8} \mathrm{M}$.
