One of the following statements was given in the film as the best way to understand genetic differences in human populations. Ch

oose the correct statement that also offers the correct explanation.
a. Populations differ by distance…If we were to walk from the tropics to Norway, what we would see is a continuous change in skin tone. And at no point along that trip would we be able to say this is the place in which we go from the dark race to the light race.
b. For race to be more than skin deep, one has to have concordance. In other words, skin color needs to reflect things that are deeper in the body under the skin. But most of human variation is non-concordant. Skin color…is not correlated with height or weight and definitely not correlated with more complex traits like intelligence or athletic performance.
c. It’s one of the misconceptions that sickle cell disease is an African American or an African disease. Sickle cell trait is not uncommon in people from the Mediterranean region…Where malaria was common the sickling gene was selected—in Arabia, South Asia, Central and Western, but not Southern Africa.
d. If one were to walk across the globe, you would find that in colder climates, people are lighter in skin color due to less melanin production. In warmer climates, you would find people are darker in skin color due to more melanin production. This is a survival mechanism.

Answer: a. Populations differ by distance…If we were to walk from the tropics to Norway, what we would see is a continuous change in skin tone. And at no point along that trip would we be able to say this is the place in which we go from the dark race to the light race.

Explanation:

This is in relation to an interview of Joseph Graves, Jr., an evolutionary biology professor. He was of the opinion that when it came to the subject of skin tone, there is no single place we can say that people become white and people become dark.

He insists rather, that genetic differences such as skin tone, are mostly based on their geographical location such that those that are closer to each other share similar traits which reduces as they move further apart. This is why if we walked from the tropics northward, people progressively get lighter in complexion because they are sharing lesser and lesser traits.

Afina-wow [57]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Although the leaders of two enemy nations admit to a buildup of their own military forces, each sees the other country's actions as unreasonable and motivated by evil intentions. This situation best illustrates:

the mere exposure effect.

the just-world phenomenon.

mirror-image perceptions.

deindividuation.

social facilitation.

None of the listed answers are correct

Answer:

This situation best illustrates mirror-image perceptions.

Explanation:

The term mirror-image perception refers to the human tendency of viewing others as the enemy, as evil, especially in a situation of conflict. It is called mirror-image because both people or sides involved in the conflict see themselves as good, and the other as the villain. That is precisely the case described in the passage. Both leaders do not see a problem concerning their own buildup of their military forces - they "know" they are doing it for good reasons. But both of them also think that the other leader doing it is a sign of evil intentions on his part.

Lynna [10]

Answer: it's true caffeine has effect on sleep hours.

Explanation: Caffeine affects sleep time only depending on the time you take it example: taking it in very early in the afternoon or evening. Research has shown that if one takes caffeine 6 hours before going to bed, it will reduce sleep by 1 hour. If an already tired individual maybe tired from the day's work take caffeine, it affects them also by depriving them of sleep.i sleeping 5 to 6 Hours daily is not really caused by caffeine but can be cause also by fatigue, intensity of artificial light, anxiety, depression or other factors.
