The nurse realizes that the information provided through genetic testing served as which of the following?
1. biological marker 2. phenotype 3. genotype 4. translocation Title: Re: From genetic testing, a patient learns that there is a specific medication that Post by: robertling on Jan 4, 2013 1 -- Biological markers are important for the construction of chromosome maps and are easily tracked, stable segments of DNA. Information gained from biological markers will provide information on how subtle differences in humans impact their response to drugs and the environment; thus making medical treatment and pharmacologic management more individualized. The observable, outward expression of an individual’s entire physical, biochemical, and physiologic makeup, as determined by their genotype and environmental factors, is referred to as phenotype. The specific sequence of nucleotides is referred to as the individual’s genotype. Translocation occurs when a segment of a chromosome transfers or moves and attaches itself to another chromosome.
