Modern humans descended form where?
Africa
not independent evolutionary groups
human races
No single allele is found in all (or even most) populations of a defined race and not found in other races.
True
Small number of SNPs identified as unique to a particular human group
True
Never found in all populations of the race
SNPs
Never within every individual in a population
SNPs
Genetic evidence that human racial groups are not biological races.
True
Allele frequencies are not more similar within racial groups than between racial groups.
True
The distribution of alleles within racial groups is about the same as between racial groups.
True
More variability exists within a race than average differences among races.
True
traits shared by unrelated populations due to similarities of environment
Convergent evolution
Similar shapes in dolphins and sharks is an example of
convergent evolution
Skin color in humans is an example of
covergent evolution
Is there a strong correlation between skin color and exposure to UV light?
Yes
Fitness of skin color is related to what?
environment
