Compare and contrast intracellular receptors and plasma membrane receptors; consider the chemical nature of the ligands (i.e. ch
emical messengers), location of the receptors in/on the cell, and consequences of ligand-receptor binding. Provide an example of each type of receptor.
Explanation: They both require the binding of Ligand.
Differences:
Intracellular receptor is located in cytosol. It can be found in the nucleus. It leads to slower responses related to gene transcription. They are steroids. Ligands are lipophilic, small, uncharged; diffuse through membrane and bind to receptor.
Plasma membrane receptor-
The Ligands are hydrophobic and don't have to be small and uncharged; bind only to membrane receptor. Extracellular signaling molecule binds to cell membrane receptor and triggers rapid cellular response (protein hormone)
When homologous chromosomes form pairs during prophase I of meiosis I, crossing-over can occur. Crossing-over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. ... It results in gametes that have unique combinations of chromosomes. In sexual reproduction, two gametes unite to produce an offspring.
