The answer is the first one: Pharmacogenomics.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Pharmacogenomics: This is the correct answer. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes affect a person's response to drugs. This field combines pharmacology (the science of drugs) and genomics (the study of genes and their functions) to develop effective, safe medications and doses that are tailored to a person's genetic makeup.

  2. CRISPR: This is incorrect. CRISPR is a technology used for editing genes. It allows scientists to alter DNA sequences and modify gene function. It is not specifically used to predict how an individual will react to drugs.

  3. GWAS (Genome-Wide Association Studies): This is incorrect. GWAS is a method used to identify genetic variations associated with specific diseases. It involves scanning genomes from many different people to find genetic markers that can be linked to particular traits or conditions. It does not specifically predict drug responses.

  4. Gene therapy: This is incorrect. Gene therapy involves the introduction, removal, or alteration of genetic material within a person's cells to treat or prevent disease. It is a therapeutic approach rather than a predictive method for drug response.

Summary: Pharmacogenomics is the genetic method that attempts to predict how an individual will react towards drugs.

Early one morning, a car crashed through the plate glass window of Monique's ice cream shop, causing substantial damage. Fortunately no one was in the shop at that hour. Monique's commercial property insurer, AllCo paid her claim promptly, allowing Monique to repair the darnage. Subsequently, AllCo pursued a clain-against driver who caused the accident, through his auto Insurer. The auto insurer eventually paid AllCo the full amount they had provided to Monique. This situation is an example of what concept? a Double dipping b Reclamation C Reinsurance d Indemnity e Subrogation
