Is race a biological characteristic determined by our genes?

Biology
1 answer:
Harman [31]3 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.

PLSS HELP how is gene knockout similar to gene sequencing?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Gene knockout is a technique used to determine the function of a gene that has already been sequenced, which is achieved by analyzing the phenotype of the individual carrying the knockout mutation(s). Moreover, gene sequencing is a technique used to determine the sequence of a given gene, which allows to determine how gene variants (polymorphisms) may be associated with the phenotypes of the target trait.  

Explanation:

In genetics, gene knockout is a technique used to trigger mutations in a (already) sequenced gene in order to inactive its function and observe the resulting phenotype for a particular trait. This approach that starts with the inactivation of a given gene and ends with the phenotype is known as reverse-genetics. On the other hand, gene sequencing can be defined as the methodologies/techniques/tools used to determine the nucleotide base pair sequence of a particular gene. The gene knockout technique involves knowing a priori the gene sequence in order to obtain a gene knockout (gene KO). The combination of the information obtained from these techniques can be used to determine how variation (genetic variation) affects the expression of a phenotypic trait.

What is refusal of care and how does it affect the doctor and the patient?
rodikova [14]
When a doctor refuses to care for a certain patient. This can be for numerous reasons, maybe they are not fit to undergo a surgery of some sort, or are being problematic. Either or the doctor nor the patient benefit form this. Doctor misses out on someone to help (i assume that’s the attitude of one working for the greater good) and the patient misses the opportunity to possibly get the help they need.
