Complete the flowchart describing the interaction of cortisol with intracellular receptors?

If you're using MasteringBiology on this then look at the third hint and you'll be able to figure it out. Seriously, look at the third hint if you can to better understand it. It includes pictures. If you can't or are just too lazy to, here's what I got: 1) Cortisol passes through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm. 2) Cortisol-receptor complex forms in the cytoplasm. 3) Cortisol-receptor complex enters the nucleus where it binds to genes. 4) Cortisol-receptor complex acts as a transcription factor. 5) The transcribed mRNA is translated into a specific protein.
