Concept explainers

Gene Flow
Gene flow, also known as gene migration, is the introduction of genetic material from a particular population to another population of the same species through interbreeding. For example, a bee facilitates its reproductive process by carrying pollen from…
Population Biology
Population biology is the study of patterns in organism populations, specifically the growth and management of population size, population genetics, the evolution of life history, species interactions, and demography.
Speciation
The process of speciation involves the formation of new species during evolution. The new species evolve in such a way that both new and old species are not able to interbreed. Thus, speciation occurs when few members of one species get separated from th…
Allele Fixation
A gene is a unit of heredity and contains both physical and functional information that shapes an individual. Genes are made up of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which carry genetic information from one generation to another, from one set of parents to the…

Chapter 13.3, Problem 8A
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Pharmacogenomics is used in studying the role of genome in drug response. It combines two disciples of science: pharmacology that study the drug action and genomics that is connected to the study of complete set of DNA. Thus it deals with the effect of genetic or acquired variation on drug response in patients. Pharmacogenomics aims to develop new ways to optimize drug use with respect to the patient’s genotype that ensure the maximum effectiveness of drug with minimal side effect.
