2026 SOLVED QUESTIONS PREMIUM BUNDLE
◉ Pharmacokinetics.
Answer: Affects drug selection and dose.
◉ Pharmacodynamics.
Answer: Affects drug selection and dose.
◉ Comprehensive health history.
Answer: Used to identify risk for heritable genetic conditions.
◉ Transcription.
Answer: Process of converting DNA to RNA.
◉ Translation.
Answer: Involves mRNA localizing to the ribosome and tRNA
recognizing codons.
◉ Codons.
,Answer: Three bases of mRNA that code for an amino acid.
◉ Germ line mutation.
Answer: Occurs directly in sperm or egg or in a precursor cell that
produces gametes.
◉ Somatic mutation.
Answer: Mutations that occur in the cells of the body.
◉ Point mutation.
Answer: Involves change in ONE base at ONE point along the DNA
sequence.
◉ Missense mutation.
Answer: Bases changes that result in an amino acid change.
◉ Nonsense mutation.
Answer: A DNA base change can result in an amino acid being
replaced by a stop codon.
◉ Frameshift mutation.
Answer: A base or bases are inserted or deleted from DNA in groups
that are not a factor of three.
, ◉ In-frame mutation.
Answer: Involves more than one base of DNA but does not change
the reading frame.
◉ Intronic mutations.
Answer: Do not change the protein.
◉ Genotype.
Answer: Set of alleles that are present, genetic composition of an
individual.
◉ Phenotype.
Answer: Observable physical traits produced by the actions of one or
more gene-encoded proteins.
◉ Autosomal dominant inheritance.
Answer: A trait or condition that manifests in a person possessing
both a variant allele and a normal allele.
◉ Probability of affected child (autosomal dominant).
Answer: 50% if one parent is affected.
