Answer:

A. Pharmacogenomics

Explanation:

The use of persons genetic makeup or information or genome, to select or choose the medicine and dosage of the drugs to be administered  that will likely work t for that particular person is called Pharmacogenomics . This  field of science combines the knowledge of how drugs work, called pharmacology, with the knowledge of the human genome, called genomics.

The aim of Pharmacogenomics is to optimize drug therapy, with consideration on the patients' genotype. Moreover it targets to ensure maximum efficiency with minimum adverse reactions. By utilizing pharmacogenomics, we have a high hope that drug treatments can veer away from the "one-dose-fits-all" approach to medication.

Q6.7. During many epidemics, health-care professionals emphasize the importance of
Serga [27]

During many epidemics, <u>healthcare </u>professionals emphasize the importance of  community mitigation strategies, such as wearing masks, frequent hand-washing, and social  distancing because these strategies help <u>reduce </u><u>transmission </u><u>even when drug-based treatments and vaccines are  unavailable.</u>

It is of <u>vital </u>importance in cases of epidemics to implement strategies such as:

  • Hand-washing
  • Wearing masks
  • Social distancing

in order to better protect our communities and ourselves.

Frequent hand-washing serves to<u> eliminate the presence of a </u><u>pathogen</u> <u>from the surface of your hands</u>, reducing the risks that it will find entry into your organism or land on a surface with which others will come into contact. Should you or someone else contract the pathogen anyways, wearing a mask can help to reduce or deny the possibility of transmitting the disease.

Finally, should both previous measures fail, meaning that the virus or pathogen has infected an individual and penetrated the masks, social distancing can act as a <u>final barrier</u> that the pathogen will rarely be able to surpass, given that most pathogens <u>cannot remain airborne over large distances. </u>

For these reasons, healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of these strategies because they help reduce transmission <u>until vaccines or drug-based treatments become  available and </u><u>herd immunity </u><u>can be reached. </u>

How long ago did speciation occur between tarsier and the ancestor of all the anthropoids?
inysia [295]
A tarsier, although a primate, is not an anthropoid. Examples of anthropoids are humans, orangutans, and gibbons. The speciation that happened between the small primate and the anthropoids was 65 million years ago. It was during that time that the common ancestors of all primates were still alive.
