Answer:

The correct answer is option C. up-regulation.

Explanation:

When the body requires the increased level of the hormone, target cells increase the synthesis of more receptors on the cell surface of the target organ. This process is known as the up-regulation of the receptors for the hormone.

Up-regulation is an increase in the receptors present on the cell surface of target cells so that cells can easily bind to the hormone. Up-regulation makes the cells increase the sensitivity to a hormone.

Thus, the correct answer is option C up-regulation.

madreJ [45]

Dan should also put all of the strawberries at places that would receive the same amount of light, experience the same weather conditions, receive the same amount of water, and to be planted in a soil of the same quality. Only like this, after putting the fertilizer, Dan can now if it makes any changes or not.
