Question

Which processes of drug response are most subject to genetic variation? select one:

a. rates of drug movement into and through the gastrointestinal tract
b. drug dissolution in body fluids and drug binding to plasma proteins
c. drug binding with receptors and drug blocking of receptors
d. drug activation or deactivation and duration of drug actions?

Answer 1

The process of drug response most subject to genetic variation is drug dissolution in body fluids and plasma, also known as drug metabolism. This can be very dangerous because some substances can have a higher level of toxicity for people with a certain type of metabolism.
