Life: The Science of Biology, Chapter 17, Problem 4Q

Introduction:

The rate of metabolism is high in the case of the genotype AA where the drug concentration in the blood is less, which is around 80. The rate of drug metabolism is less in the case of the genotype CC with a drug concentration of around 120 and genotype AC where the concentration is around 100. So, the allele ‘A’ is related to effective metabolism.
