Answer:

Hormones may be defined as the chemical messenger of the body. Hormones can be released into the particular duct or may directly release into the blood stream.

The cells can show different response to the hormone even after having the same receptor. This might occur because the single hormone can have different effects depending on the traget cells. They might have different receptors for the hormones and may also differ due to the different signal transduction pathways.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Hormone is responsible to mediate change in the cell by binding to the hormonal receptor present on the cell. So hormone only acts on the cells which have the specific receptor for that hormone.

One cell can have many receptors for a single hormone which defines the sensitivity of cell for the hormone which is responsible for generating appropriated cellular response in the cell.

So the number of receptors on the cell can contribute to different responses of cells having the same hormonal receptor. Every cell also have unique transduction pathway which is also responsible for different response of cell.

Answer:

The correct option is A. they evolved from land mammals.

Explanation:

The process of evolution explains how closely one organism is to another based on their common ancestors. Scientists believe that those organisms which show many similarities in their structures or functions might have evolved from a common ancestor in the past.

As in the above-mentioned question, scientists have observed that cetaceans lack gills and breath air, this is a property of land mammals. The cetaceans have fin bones which are similar to the limb bones. As limb bones are present in land mammals, hence they cetaceans and land mammals might have common ancestors in the past.

They are of two types, i.e. Coastal Lagoons and Atoll Lagoons. In the figure attached, you can see how a lagoon looks like.
