Answer: The correct answer is-

Phenotype.

Phenotype can be described as the morphological form or characteristic of an organism ( such as tall height of plant, skin color, eye color, hair color), which is depicted by the genetic makeup of an organism and is passed to next generation through genes.

The genes ( that is unit of heredity) for particular phenotype are inherited by offspring from their parents in the form of DNA sequences.

In other words, the physical traits ( that is phenotype) are inherited from one generation to the next generation in the form of genes.

Thus, phenotype describes the heritable, physical characteristics of a living organism.

What do you notice about the ligands and their receptors in these images?
aliina [53]

Answer:

What can be noticed about the ligands and their receptor is that the configuration of both coincide, as a key would with its lock, which demonstrates the specificity of a receptor by its ligand.

Explanation:

A <u>ligand</u> corresponds to a molecule considered a signal or a messenger, while the <u>receptor</u> is a protein on the cell surface, with the capacity to accept a ligand.

Ligands and receptors constitute pairs that complement each other, so that <u>each receptor can bind to a specific ligand</u>, similar to what happens with a key and a lock.

Once the ligand-receptor complex is formed, changes occur inside the cell, which define a certain effect.
