An ion channel that opens when neurotransmitter binds to it is called a Ligand-gated ion channel. These channels are also called ionotropic receptors; they open to allow ions such as potassium ions, sodium and calcium and/or chloride ions to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger or a ligand (for example a neurotransmitter).

In 2006, scientists found a fossil that seemed to have fish-like scales and four legs. It also had a bone structure in its neck
lianna [129]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Scientists found a fossil of a fish with four limbs or legs. The fossil was estimated to be around 375 million years old.  

The fossil showed the fins and scales of a fish but they also possess the bones of proto-wrist, shoulders and the elbow.

The presence of these bones can be a clue that the fish evolved the limbs to walk on the land and will later evolve into animals belonging to amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Therefore, the Tiktaalik is considered the missing link of how life evolved from water to land.

Thus, Option-C is correct.
