Answer:

the number of oxytocin receptors on the cell surface  

Explanation:

The increase of the number of hormone receptors present on the surface of target cells increases the sensitivity of such cells to the hormone. Oxytocin is a neuropeptide hormone produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. This hormone acts as a neurotransmitter that binds to oxytocin receptors in order to trigger a molecular cascade that finalizes with the activation of the enzyme Phospholipase-C. Oxytocin receptors are found in different types of brain cells including, for example, the amygdala and hippocampus (where oxytocin binds). This hormone acts as a chemical messenger that modulates brain functions associated with the reproductive system (i.e., childbirth and lactation) and human behavior.

Today, the species which are different from each other just like hummingbirds, humans and whales are from the same ancestor but with the time passage genetic mutation occurs and at the end dissimilar organisms we can see in our environment/surroundings.
