Timothy does not get a promotion at work because he has cancer is an example of genetic discrimination.
Explanation:
Genetic discrimination is termed so when an employer or an insurance company treats indifferently an individual with gene mutation or heritable diseases.
The act of not giving promotion and using the genetic information for the reason by the employer is indifferent and termed genetic discrimination as in case of cancer where life expectancy and large insurance claim is the reason.
Insurance companies do not give benefits or insurance to potential people having or prone for having the mutation and heredity disease.
To help overcome this discrimination federal level laws have been implemented as Genetic information non discrimination act. It strictly prohibits the indifferent behaviour of the employers and insurance companies.
Answer: C
Explanation: The two chromatids of a duplicated chromosome are held together at a region of DNA called the centromere. Centromeres are the attachment points for microtubules, which are responsible for the guiding the movement of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis.
Mutations are changes that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.
They increase the genetic variation within a species because they can create entirely new alleles in a population, random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring.

B - Enzymes act as catalysts because they lower the activation energy
Answer:
The true statement is: "Spring tides are the highest, while neap tides are the lowest."
Explanation:
- The range of difference in the level of water between high and low tide is always larger in spring tide.
- Neap tides are the moderate tides. It does not have huge difference in higher and low tides because the bulging of the ocean ( by the sun) balances the bulge of the ocean caused by the moon.
- This balance is not found in spring tides that is the main reason for spring tides to have the highest level for both higher and lower tides.
