Allen and andrew both have the same biological parents. Why do they not resemble either of there parents
taurus [48]
This can be because of their genetics. The siblings may not have inherited their parents looks, but maybe they inherited their grandparents looks, or even their aunts looks. This is all due to genetics. It's sort of the same thing, when two caucasian parents have an african-american child. That would be because somewhere along the family tree someone was african-american.

Receptors are macromolecules that are highly specific.

The affinity between the ligand and the receptors is determind by the disassociation constant Kd.

The receptors produce maximun effect when an appropriate specific stimulus is present.

Different recptors types are present for different ligands.

For example, muscrinic receptors are specific for acetycholine and adrenergic receptors are specific for adrenaline/nor adrenaline.

It is important to know the specificity so that the body remains in a state of balance.
