Check for Understanding

1. This is the study of genetic variations that influence individual response to drugs?
A. Pharmacology
B. Pharmacist
C. Pharmacogenomics
D. Gene therapy
Answer: C
Rationale: The study of how genes influence a person's pharmacological reaction is known as
pharmacogenomics. This relatively new area combines pharmacology (drug science) with genomics (the
study of genes and their activities) to create effective, safe treatments and dosages that are personalized
to a person's genetic makeup.

2. A variant form of a given gene, which may determine a trait such as having type O or type A Blood.
A. Eugenics
B. Heterozygous
C. Genetic testing
D. Allele
Answer: D
Rationale: A variable version of a gene is known as an allele. Some genes exist in several distinct versions,
all of which are found at the same genetic locus on a chromosome.

3. This is one of the most productive and promising applications of genetic engineering.
A. Gene therapy
B. Genetic pharmacy
C. Genetic testing
D. All of the above
Answer: B
Rationale: Gene therapy is a type of experimental treatment that involves transferring genetic material
into a patient's cell in order to cure the ailment. The objective is to change the genetic code of the patient's
disease-causing cell and then restore normal circumstances to that cell.

4. In recombinant DNA technology, what is the commonly used bacterium??

A. E. coli
B. Salmonella
C. Lactobacilli
D. Streptococcus
Answer: A
Rationale: E. coli, or E. coli, is a kind of bacteria. E. coli is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-
shaped coliform bacteria of the genus Escherichia that is typically found in warm-blooded species' lower
intestine.

5. Genetic screening requires which of the following?

A. Sensitivity
B. Wisdom
C. Good science
D. All of the above
Answer: D
Rationale: Genetic screening requires: Wisdom, Sensitivity, Good science, and Confidentiality.
