Which of the following is true in regard to 'race'-related genetic variation? Only 10-15 percent of human genetic variation cannot be accounted for by race. 10-15 percent of human genetic variation occurs within so-called races. The average genetic difference between so-called races is the same as the average genetic difference between individuals classified as belonging to a given racial category. The average genetic difference between races is much larger than the average genetic difference between individuals within a given racial category. 80-85 percent of human genetic variation occurs within so-called races.

Which of the following statements regarding human genetic variation is TRUE? a. there is more genetic variation between than within races b. there is more genetic variation within than between races c. there is equal genetic variation within and between races d. there is equal genetic variation between races and between populations
Maitreya E.
Which of the following is true regarding human genetic diversity? All humans descended from one very small population: Different continental groups of humans descended from different populations. At the genetic level, human populations vary approximately 15%. Humans are not very inbred, as there is high degree genetic diversity among different populations.
All of the following statements support the hypothesis that humans cannot be classified into biological races except: A. There is more genetic diversity within a racial group than average differences between racial groups; B. Alleles that are common in one population in a racial group may be uncommon in other populations of the same race; C. Geneticists can use particular SNP alleles to identify the ancestral group(s) of any individual human; D. There are no alleles found in all members of a given racial group; E. There is genetic evidence of mixing among human populations occurring thousands of years ago until the present.
