C.elegans is used as a model organism in the study of the Notch signaling pathway.What is the method communication between cells in the Notch signaling pathway? A)direct cell- to- cell contact through transmembrane proteins B)cells do not communicate using the Notch signaling pathway C)release of extracellular signals to be detected by neighboring cells D)electrical propagation of signals across small gaps

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Notch signaling pathway involves direct cell-to-cell contact through transmembrane proteins. The Notch receptor on one cell binds to the ligand on an adjacent cell, triggering a series of intracellular events that ultimately lead to changes in gene expression and cell fate.
