Which choice best describes the purpose of most pharmacogenomic research??

1 answer:

4 0

Pharmacogenomic is defined as the study of the role of the genome in drug 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.

In this metabolic process, the enzyme RNA polymerase binds RNA nucleotides (the substrates) together by catalyzing the formation

stira [4]

Answer:

TRANSCRIPTION

Explanation:

Transcription is the first process that occurs in the expression of a gene. It involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule from a DNA template. The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of an eukaryotic cell, is bound to by an enzyme called RNA polymerase in order to synthesize an mRNA molecule/strand.

RNA polymerase synthesizes a mRNA molecule using complementary base pairing rule i.e. Uracil base (U) is synthesized when Adenine (A) is read, Adenine when Thymine (T) is read, Guanine (G) when cytosine (C) is read, Cytosine when guanine is read. These nucleotide bases are then joined together via chemical bonding.

In a nutshell, RNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of a bond between the backbone sugar of one nucleotide base to the backbone phosphate of another nucleotide base in the metabolic process of TRANSCRIPTION.

What is the primary way that combination birth control pills work to prevent pregnancy?

9966 [12]

Combination birth control pills work to prevent pregnancy mainly because the pills constrain a woman’s time of ovulation – or they stop your ovaries from releasing ovules. Combination birth pills are taken orally and they are composed of both steroid hormones and estrogen which can stop ovulation.

Biology, simply defined, is the study of living organisms and the processes that make life possible. The Department of Biology is host to outstanding research programs in various fields across the spectrum of modern biology. To address the breadth and depth essential to educating biologists, the biology major is structured to include both a broad foundation through core courses and opportunity for specialization within a biological subfield through biology electives.

While the major is designed to prepare the student for a post-baccalaureate profession in biology, for advanced professional training in the health sciences, or for graduate study in basic and applied areas of the biological sciences, biology majors can and do work in a wide variety occupational professions. The Department of Biology offers research opportunities, training, and instruction at all levels, undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral.

What skills does studying biology develop?

generate original ideas and solve problems - conduct research and interpret data using laboratory instrumentation

gather information, conduct research and laboratory experimentation

analyze and evaluate data, write and present reports

calculate, compute and apply formulas

collaborate with fellow biologists and other scientists

understand the building blocks of the systems of life

understand the behavior of the environment
