Which of the following are true about human variation? (Choose all that apply): Group of answer choices Genotype refers to how a person looks, through interaction of genes and environment. Siblings are more like each other, genetically, than they are to either of their parents. Usually, it is only identical twins (or sometimes triplets or other multiple births) who have identical DNA, and even so, there is still some phenotypic variation between them. You could have genes for being tall, but if your mother (or even grandmother) had poor nutrition during fetal gestation, you could be shorter than your genes allow. You can produce taller offspring by stretching and remembering to stand up as tall as you can.
Explain how we know that there are NO races, or biological subspecies, in modern humans. In your answer be sure to compare and contrast scientific concepts of race and socially constructed concepts of race. You must use at least 2 of the following terms in your essay Fst, cline, skin reflectance Refer to craniometric data, genetic data, or patterns of disease. And finally, give examples of why we continue to use simplistic racial categories for humanity when we know they are inaccurate.
Is this statement true or false? Why? Statement: Biology points out the individuality of every being, and at the same time reminds us of the brotherhood of all.
The question I have is "Are we humans?" I know it sounds like a weird question to ask but I'm serious. Why are humans classified as humans? Why can't animals be humans?
The following is an excerpt from a discussion of Principlism, which we have studied. (https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/principlism) Consider, for example, the question of what health professionals should do when they discover that a patient infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is having unprotected sex with partners who are ignorant of his condition. First, respect for the patient's autonomy supports a policy of medical confidentiality, requiring health professionals not to reveal to others private information discovered in the course of caring for patients. According to this policy, health professionals should do nothing to warn the sexual partners of their HIV-positive patient, as doing so would violate his confidentiality. Second, if there is evidence that public disclosure of the patient's condition would harm him economically, socially, psychologically, or physically, the principle of nonmaleficence would also urge…

The theory of evolution states that all organisms change over the course of time due to environmental/ Earth changes. Natural selection is the main mechanism driving this change. Yet, for life on Earth, there are many unifying characteristics that we all share that form an unbroken bond between all organisms. Energy and Matter, heredity and the genetic code, interrelationships among organisms. These are the “Big Ideas” that bind us all. Each of the following are contributed toward the Living Systems of today: Biochemistry and the “Big 4 Macromolecules” The cellular nature of life Metabolism and energy (Photosynthesis and respiration) Heredity and the universality of DNA (gene control too) Evolutionary mechanisms Describe how the vast variety of species of living things came to be, and still tie in all of the similarities they share. How does each of ALL the mentioned above help shape the Unity and Diversity of Life on Earth? Include sources if applicable.a

Which of the following best differentiates between genotype and phenotype? Genotype is an organism's genetic makeup, and phenotype is the observable traits of an organism Genotype is the observable traits of an organism, and phenotype is an organism's genetic makeup Genotype and phenotype both refer to an organism's genetic makeup Genotype and phenotype both refer to the observable traits of an organism
Please help with the following: The distribution of epidermal melanin shows a remarkable diversity in human populations and, in this sense, it is an atypical trait. Statement 1: Numerous genetic studies have indicated that the average proportion of genetic variation due to differences among major continental groups is just 10-15% of the total genetic variation. Statement 2: Skin pigmentation shows large differences among continental populations. Statement 3: The distribution of skin pigmentation can be traced back primarily to the strong influence of natural selection, which has shaped the distribution of pigmentation according to a latitudinal gradient. A. Statements two and three are true but statement one is false. B. Statements one and three are true but statement two is false. C. Statements one and two are true but statement three is false. D. All three statements are true. E. All three statements are false.
