Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pharmacogenetics is the field which studies how genetic differences influence an individual's response to drugs. It helps in identifying which patients are likely to experience adverse drug reactions or which patients will benefit from a particular drug therapy. Genetic mapping is identifying and mapping genes and genetic variations in a genome. Genetic determinism is the belief that genes determine an individual's traits and behavior. Applied pharmacology is the practical use of drugs in the treatment of disease.
