The correct answer is nucleic acid.

The DNA present in an organism is made up of nucleic acid. This nucleic acid is the polymer that carries traits from one generation to another generation.

The nucleic acid has its functional unit gene. The genes responsible for a particular trait (character such as hair type, eye color, blood group)which is carried from parents to the children.

Hence, a child has character of both the parents.

Answer:

There are many receptors for thyroxine on different target cells (tissues), so its effect can be huge

Explanation:

Target cell for a certain hormone is a cell that have hormone receptor specific for that hormone. There are two main types of receptors on target cell:

  • cell membrane receptors (also called  trans membrane receptors)-usually for peptide hormones, such as insulin
  • intracellular receptors (also called nuclear receptors)-usually for steroid hormones, such as testosterone.

Hormone binding to the receptor leads to the signal cascade within the cell, which results in cell response.

Receptors for thyroid hormones are nuclear receptors.
