The hormone which regulates the gene-expression of the target cell is

Assertion (A): Receptor proteins show selectivity for one chemical messenger over the other. Reason (R) : Chemical messenger binds to the receptor site and inhibits its natural function.

Assertion (A): Chemical messengers are chemicals that enable communication of message between two neurons or between neurons and muscles. Reason (R) : Chemicals enter the cell through receptor.

Assertion (A) : Chemical messenger gives message to the cell without entering the cell. Reason (R) : Chemical messenger is received at the binding site of receptor proteins.
