Answer:

C: autocrine

Explanation:

There are three types of hormones according to where their target cells are.

  • Endocrine: Their target cells are distributed far and they travel via blood to reach the target cells.
  • Paracrine: Their target cells are often their neighbors so they often diffuse to reach them
  • Autocrine: Their secretion acts on themselves. Hence they are their own targets.

What is the difference between the alleles of a gene?
Fynjy0 [20]

This question is not clear, but I think I understand what you are asking. The difference between alleles of a gene is that some alleles may be dominant or recessive. If one gene has more dominant alleles than another, than it will be more visible.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Antigens are proteins that are found on the surface of the pathogen and are viruses, fungi, or bacteria. Nonliving substances such as toxins, chemicals, drugs, and foreign particles.  Antigens are usually carried by proteins and polysaccharides, and less frequently, lipids but it also needs to be attached to a large carrier molecule which is usually a protein.  When an antigen enters the body, the immune system produces antibodies against it. The Antigen stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. YOUR WELCOME ;)
