Answer: Option C (receptor)

Explanation:

The membrane protein serves as a receptor which binds to the endogenous ligand (a chemical or ion messenger) on the cell membrane triggering the opening of the cell membrane for onward passage of signals or ions into the cell. This process is called signal transduction.

The summary of functions of the membrane protein is to send the signal onward, increases the effect of a single chemical messenger (ligand), and synthesize the signal into another biochemical process.

Imagine that you are studying alien life-forms discovered on a distant planet. While geneticists are working out the genetic cod

A phylogenetic tree based on morphology can be constructed using the presence or lack of characteristics. In this illustration, all aliens except the outgroup possess a spring tail, all aliens possess a fourth eye, two aliens possess two tails, and one alien has a grasping hand. The evolutionary relationships between these organisms can be hypothesized using these traits.

Aliens:

  • We can determine whether the following traits are present in the remaining aliens by using the group of aliens with the tail stalk as our test group.
  • Out group: a group that is maintained apart from the clade but is yet connected to it.
  • If we provide these aliens alphabets for ease of understanding, then aliens will be like in order.
  • We can use the group of aliens with the tail stalk as our test group to see if the following characteristics are present in the remaining aliens.
  • A group that is kept separate from the clade while yet being affiliated with it is known as an out group.
  • The aliens will appear to be in order if we give them alphabets for simplicity.
