A neurotransmitter can have an excitatory or inhibitory effect on the postsynaptic cell, depending on <u>which of its </u><u>receptor(s</u><u>) are present on the </u><u>postsynaptic</u><u> (target) cell.</u>

<h3>How do excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters act?</h3>

Sometimes neurotransmitters can bind to receptors and cause an electrical signal to be transmitted through the cell (excitatory). In other cases, the neurotransmitter can prevent the signal from continuing, preventing the message from being carried (inhibitory).

With this information, we can conclude that a neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.

scoray [572]

Answer: a line connecting her mother and father, a colored circle representing Jenna, and two empty circles representing her sisters

Explanation: Jenna's red hair can be determined by incomplete dominance.

Incomplete dominance is a condition where neither of the alleles responsible for a trait is dominant.

In incomplete dominance, one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. So, if an organism is heterozygous for a trait, it shows a third phenotype.
