B, Most effective time to recover
C. Predict likelihood of developing a certain disease
D. Most effective drug for treatment
Most effective time to recover
Which statement correctly describes the genome?
A. Genes only
B. Proteins only
C. DNA sequences that do not code for proteins
D. Entire hereditary information encoded in DNA
Entire hereditary information encoded in DNA
The following relates to drug treatments given to patients.
