Placebo responses greatly influence ordinary clinical outcomes, making placebo controls essential in randomized clinical trials (RCTs).

What are the placebome, or genetics, and the placebo effect?

Recent research in neurophysiology reveals the neurotransmitter networks that control placebo effects. It is possible to use genetic screening to identify placebo responders, which would boost the efficiency of RCTs and enhance therapeutic treatment. This is supported by evidence that genetic differences in these pathways can alter placebo effects. Additionally, the design of RCTs should take into account any potential interactions between the molecular pathways of the medicine and the placebo. The placebome, a study of the genetic influences on placebo response, is still in its infancy. Here, we evaluate data from placebo trials and RCTs to pinpoint putative genes in the placebome, look into data for interactions between placebo and drugs, and discuss implications for clinical care and RCTs.

natka813 [3]

Three questions that focuses on the cause and effect relationship between the genetic code and gene expression, mechanisms of gene regulation and/or the role of DNA segments that is not involved in coding the proteins are:

i. Illustrate the process of translation and explain it with the help of a diagram.

ii. What are codons? Name the stop codons in eukaryotes.

iii. What are exons and introns? Explain what happens to the introns during the process of transcription and translation?

Punnett squares provide an easy way to predict the possible genotypes for an offspring, but it is not practical to perform a Pun

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are certain limitations associated with the Punnett Squares. They are not useful in case of complex genetic inheritance such as linkage between two genes. In case of linkages it becomes difficult to estimate the distribution of genotypes and phenotypes. For example in case of Nail-patella Syndrome and gene associated with blood group two genes lie on the same chromosome in close vicinity and hence there are high chances of inheritance of these traits in the offspring from the parent thereby causing random distribution of the two traits. This random distribution cannot be captured through punnet square.

The same problem is associated in case where a single gene is determined by multiple genes with graded effects of each gene.
