Is race a biological characteristic determined by our genes?

Biology
1 answer:
Harman [31]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

No, they are not. The concept of human races appears to be solidly grounded in present-day biology and our evolutionary history. But if you asked that conference of geneticists to give you a genetic definition of race, they wouldn’t be able to do it. Human races are not natural genetic groups; they are socially constructed categories. Genes certainly reflect geography, but unlike geography, human genetic differences don't fall along obvious natural boundaries that might define races.

pishuonlain [190]

You have a population in hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the m and n alleles. These alleles are codominant.  Allele frequency of m is 0. 4. 0.48 is the frequency of heterozygotes in the population.

An allele frequency has been computed by dividing the total quantity of copies of each of the alleles at that specific genetic location in the population by the number of points of time the allele of interest has been observed in a population.

The frequency of each genotype is typically calculated by dividing the population's total count of individuals by the number of people who have that genotype.
