Answer: Endocrine

A chemical signal produced in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain binds to a receptor on liver cells. This signal would be classified as an endocrine signal.

Explanation:

An endocrine signal is produced by a cell that targets a distant cell through the bloodstream.

Hence, a endocrine signal (carried by hormones) produced at the base of the brain (usually an endocrine gland) travels through the bloodstream to the target cell and binds to a receptor on the liver, and then exerts its function.

Which of the following is an example of genetic discrimination?
Rudiy27

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.
