Pharmacogenomic is defined as <span>the study of the role of the </span>genome<span> in </span>drug<span> response. It is a combination of Pharmacology and Genomics.

It studies how the genetic makeup of an individual affects his or her response to drugs. For example, a certain drug is administered to two individuals. One doesn't have any adverse reaction while the other one has. Pharmacogenomics will then conduct tests and study its results on why two individuals given the same drug have different reaction to it.</span>

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:Transcriptional Regulation  

Explanation:

Eukaryotic gene expression can be regulated during the time of transcription and RNA processing, which takes place in the nucleus of the cell and then during the time of protein translation in the cytoplasm.

Further regulation is being carried during the time of post transnational modification. The conservation of energy is very important because it saves the overall energy and space in the body.

Hence, the most important point for the regulation would be transcriptional regulation.

Where does glycolysis takes place? a. mitochondrial intermembrane space b. cytosol c. mitochondrial matrix d. mitochondrial oute
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option B- cytosol.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is a series of reactions which breaks down the glucose (6C molecule) to pyruvates (3C molecule).  

The reaction is the first stage of the aerobic respiration which proceeds in ten steps. The reactions take place in the "cytoplasm of the cell" of all organisms from micro-organisms to plant and animals.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

True or false? One possible way to alter chromatin structure such that genes could be transcribed would be to make histone prote
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The histones that are more positively charged, tight hardly to negatively charged DNA. So, enzymes, such as acetyltransferases, that reduce the positive charge of histones promote transcription.

Chromatin structure and its modifications can change the package of the DNA and consequently, alter the gene expression. The most common modifications of the chromatin are covalent modifications such as acetylation/deacetylation (by acetyltransferases and eacetylases), methylation (by methyltransferases), and phosphorylation (by kinases).  This is the way of gene expression regulation.

The effects of modifications are different, for example methylation promotes  condensation of the chromatin and as a consequence, prevents binding of transcription factors to the DNA (transcription is repressed).

Acetylation loosens the association between nucleosomes and DNA (because it neutralizes the positive charge of histones) and consequently promotes transcription. Deacetylation is a process opposite to acetylation.
