Divergence is due to upwelling mantle thinning and extending the crust when the mantle decompressed and melts basalt is formed. Basalt and other mafic rocks from oceanic crust while continental crust is made up of mostly felsic (but some mafic) rocks. Upwelling mantle does thin continental crust and sometimes this thinning leads to new oceanic basins. Thus oceanic crust is formed from divergent oceanic plates (at mid oceanic rifts) and continental crust can become oceanic crust when upwelling mantle rifts continents into new oceanic basins

To send a signal, the signaling cell synthesizes and release signaling molecules called ligands. The ligands are to be transported if the responding cells are distantly located.

As the signal molecule reaches the responding cell, it binds to the receptors present on the surface of the responding cells. This process is called reception as the responding cell receives the signals. Some cells produce cytosolic or nuclear receptors for their signaling molecules.
