Which one of these is a genetically determined adverse drug reactions? Correct Answer Idiosyncracy

Idiosyncracy refers to genetically determined adverse drug reactions. It means that certain individuals may have unique and genetically determined reactions to specific drugs, which can result in unexpected and adverse effects.

Option A, Addiction, is not a genetically determined adverse drug reaction but rather a behavioral response to a substance.

Option B, Teratogenicity, refers to drugs or agents that can cause harm to a developing fetus and is not directly related to genetic factors.

Option C, Carcinogenicity, is the ability of a substance to cause cancer, and while genetics can play a role in cancer susceptibility, it is not a genetically determined adverse drug reaction in the same sense as idiosyncracy.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is Option D: Idiosyncracy, as it directly relates to genetically determined adverse drug reactions.

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. Genetic variation is the cornerstone of evolution, without which there can be no natural selection, and so a low genetic diversity decreases the ability of a species to survive and reproduce, explains lead author Yoshan Moodley, Professor at the Department of Zoology, University of Venda in South Africa. Two centuries ago, the black rhinoceros – which roamed much of sub Saharan Africa – had 64 different genetic lineages; but today only 20 of these lineages remain, says the paper. The species is now restricted to five countries, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Genetically unique populations that once existed in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Mozambique, Malawi and Angola have disappeared. The origins of the 'genetic erosion' coincided with colonial rule in Africa and the popularity of big game hunting. From the second half of the 20th century, however, poaching for horns has dramatically depleted their population and genetic diversity, especially in Kenya and Tanzania.
Genetically unique black rhinoceros has been lost in all of the following countries, except?
Directions : Following question consists of a statement followed by three arguments I, II and III . You have to decide which of the arguments is a STRONG arguments and which is a WEAK Argument.

Statement : Should there be a complete ban on genetically modified imported seeds?

Arguments :
I. Yes. This will boost the demand of domestically developed seeds.
II. No. This is the only way to increase production substantially.
III. Yes. Genetically modified products will adversely affect the health of those who consume these products.
Genetically engineered, and genetically modified mean the same thing.
A drug that is highly effective in treating many types of infection can,at present,be obtained only from the bark of the ibora , a tree that is quite rare in the wild. It takes the bark of 5000 trees to make one kilogram of the drug. It follows, therefore, that continued production of the drug must inevitably lead to the ibore's extinction. Which of the following,if true, most seriously weakens the arguments above ?
