MMSC 491 GENETICS EXAM 2- BUONI UNIT 9
Augmentation Therapies - Answers - Supply purified functional gene compensate to
make the missing gene product
Elimination, Correction, or Inhibition - Answers - Therapies that work from positively
harmful cells/molecules
Preventative Treatment - Answers - Altering exposure to environmental triggers
(dietary modifications) or reduction
Inborn Errors of Metabolism - Answers - Rare genetic disorders where the body can't
properly turn food into energy
Pharmacogenetics - Answers - Is concerned with how the actions of drugs and the
reactions to them vary according to variation in the patient's genes
Pharmacokinetics - Answers - The study of what the body does with, and to, the drug
(encompassing drug absorption, activation, metabolism, and excretion)
Pharmacodynamics - Answers - Which deals with the target response: how the person
is affected by the drug
Concerning the efficacy of small molecule drugs, which, if any, of the following
statements is true? - Answers - At the level of clinical trials drugs can vary widely in
how effective they are.
A person's ability to absorb or metabolize a drug that is intended to treat a genetic
disorder is entirely due to genetic factors. - Answers - False
A person's ability to absorb or metabolize a drug that is intended to treat a genetic
disorder is not modified by having a bacterial infection - Answers - False
Which, if any, of the following statements is false regarding genome editing? - Answers
- The specificity of genome editing depends on an initial site-specific cleavage of
double-stranded DNA following base pairing with specifically designed nucleotide
sequences
Which disorders are more suitable for augmentation therapy? - Answers - Recessive
disorders
Which of the following best describes cytokines? - Answers - Chemical messengers
that help in intracellular signaling
Which of the following terms describes the ability to give rise to all cell types? -
Answers - Pluripotent
