Detailed explanation-1: -How will advances in genetics most likely affect biotechnology? Biotechnology will provide cures for all diseases in the future. Biotechnology will gradually phase out of the field of medicine. Biotechnology will create new genes that will make certain diseases disappear from the human genome.
Detailed explanation-2: -Using pharmacogenomics, pharmaceutical companies can create drugs based on the proteins, enzymes, and RNA molecules that are associated with specific genes and diseases. These tailor-made drugs promise not only to maximize therapeutic effects, but also to decrease damage to nearby healthy cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic tests may be used to confirm a diagnosis in a symptomatic individual or used to monitor prognosis of a disease or response to treatment. Predictive or predispositional genetic testing can identify individuals at risk of getting a disease prior to the onset of symptoms.
