A receptor brings about a response to a stimulus to produce an effect
An antigen allows for cells to recognise each other
hope this is helpful! let me know if you need more help >:3

Can I also ask if VNTRs are found at the same location within chromosome for all people?

So in theory, some people could have VNTRs in the same place, but it is super rare!

Receptors exist to localize cells in order to stimulate them. According to their functions they transmit stimuli or initiate a metabolism. Antigens are fixed to pathogens to give the anti bodies a "reminder" where they are to defend.

an antigen is a molecule on the surface of every cell, for example a pathogen, that has a specific shape to it's cell type, these can bind to receptors or are used in cell communication. A receptor is also a molecule on the surface of cells however these are in charge of binding to the antigen or stimulus and this causes an effect, such as hormone release
