If a cell's nuclear receptor lacks its ligand-binding domain, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

Without a ligand-binding domain, the receptor cannot bind its activating signal, therefore, the receptor's ability to initiate transcription will be compromised, because ligand binding is crucial for receptor activation, rather than impacting its location or binding affinity.
