Indicate the most accurate statement about the
"olfactory code".
The olfactory code is a "labeled-line code" meaning that each olfactory receptor encodes the identify of a distinct odorant molecule.
A given olfactory ligand can interact with only one olfactory receptor.
The olfactory code is a "combinatorial code" meaning that different olfactory receptors encode the molecular shape of odorant molecules.
Two different olfactory receptors cannot recognize the same olfactory ligand.
Binding of an olfactory ligand to its corresponding olfactory receptors results in the activation of only one glomerulus.
