What is Found When Alleles Among Different Human Groups Are

Question

What is found when alleles among different human groups are analyzed?
A) There are no race-specific alleles and no consistent patterns of allele frequencies within racial groups.
B) There are a few race-specific alleles but no consistent patterns of allele frequencies within racial groups.
C) There are many race-specific alleles and several consistent patterns of allele frequencies within racial groups.
D) There are no race-specific alleles but several consistent patterns of allele frequencies within racial groups.

Accepted Answer

When analyzing alleles among different human groups, it has been found that there are no race-specific alleles and no consistent patterns of allele frequencies within racial groups. This is because genetic variation is not distributed in discrete racial categories, but rather as a continuum. Therefore, it is not appropriate to assign genetic differences to specific races.
