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.

Which of the following does not contribute to the formation of the mid atlantic ridge
dedylja [7]

Answer:

This submarine Mid-Atlantic Ridge owes its formation to the movement of the continental plates on either side of the ocean. As these plates slowly separate, they leave gaps in the earth's crust. This allows molten rock from beneath the earth's crust to reach the surface, forming a new part of the ocean floor

4. (a) Primary production is the production of carbon compounds from carbon dioxide, generally by photosynthesis. Study
Stels [109]

The graph is showing how primary production decreases as deep increases. It is due to the amount of available light in the water.

<h3>Primary production on the ocean</h3>

The primary production in the ocean is performed by microorganisms known as phytoplankton.

Phytoplankton populations are primary producers that include bacteria and algae, which use photosynthesis to produce biomass and release oxygen.

In a similar manner to plants, phytoplankton communities also contain chlorophyll in order to convert sunlight into biomass.

As ocean deep increases, the amount of available light in the water decreases, thereby also decreasing the primary production of the phytoplankton populations.

The links between the energy that carnivores get from eating to the energy captured by photosynthesis.
Reptile [31]
Between every food chain from one animal to another there is 90% energy loss so if a herbivore eats a plant, it will only get 10 joules of energy. and if a carnivore eats the herbivore then it will only get 1 joules of energy. so in every food eaten, there is 90% energy loss.
