Solution

The properties of voltage-gated channels are:

  1. They open and close in response to small voltage changes in the membrane potential.
  2. They are specific for the type of ion that passes through them.

The other two options are not correct. Voltage-gated channels do not allow most ions to pass through depending on their concentration gradient. They are specific for certain types of ions. Also, they do not open or close when a ligand binds to a receptor that is part of the ion channel. This is a characteristic of ligand-gated channels, not voltage-gated channels.
