Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, however, it will be answered BROADLY so the it can be understood enough to select the correct answer.

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Cells perform different functions and look differently because of the process of CELL DIFFERENTIATION. All cells arise from a single stem cell, which then gradually differentiates into different types of cells with different functions, as they divide.

At the molecular level, these different types of cells contain the same DNA sequence as rightly stated in the question. However, they look and perform differently because some of the genes are turned on while the others are turned off via the process of GENE EXPRESSION.

Therefore, a blood cell and skin cell possess exactly the same DNA sequence but look different and perform different functions because of CELL DIFFERENTIATION in which some genes on the DNA sequence are expressed and others are repressed. For example, in the blood cell; the genes coding for certain proteins found in blood are expressed while every other gene is silenced or inhibited. This allows those cells to perform only blood-related functions.

An example of ligand-gated ion channels is _______. A. the spreading of action potentials in the heart B. acetylcholine receptor
BartSMP [9]

The correct answer for this question is Acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction i.e., B

The most basic type of is one in which a single protein or complex of proteins performs both hormone binding and signal generation. Ligand-gated ion channels are included in this category. They consist of two major components: a ligand-binding domain accessible from the cell's surface and a transmembrane domain containing a channel. Binding of ligand to the receptor's exofacial surface causes a conformational change that results in the opening of a pore, allowing specific ions to travel across the plasma membrane through the channel.
