Which statements from the "Genetic research has a white bias, and it may be hurting everyone's health" article represent reasons that directly support the author's claim? Select the two correct answers.

Question

A. "And health treatments that don't take the variations of genetically diverse populations into account can cause problems."
B. "Modern humans originated on the continent of Africa more than 300,000 years ago, and subsequent generations migrated across the land, with groups intermarrying or splitting apart."
C. "'If we don't include ethnically diverse populations, we are potentially going to be exacerbating health inequalities,' said Sarah Tishkoff, study coauthor and a human geneticist at the University of Pennsylvania."
D. "The lack of genetic diversity is " a social injustice, and a missed scientific opportunity," said Esteban Burchard, who is a physician and epidemiologist at the University of California, San Francisco, and was not involved in the new paper."
E. "Any two humans in the world share about 99.9 percent of their DNA with one another..."

Answer 1

The two statements from the article that directly support the author's claim are:

A. "And health treatments that don't take the variations of genetically diverse populations into account can cause problems."

C. "'If we don't include ethnically diverse populations, we are potentially going to be exacerbating health inequalities,' said Sarah Tishkoff, study coauthor and a human geneticist at the University of Pennsylvania."

These statements highlight the consequences of a lack of genetic diversity in research and the potential negative impacts on health treatments and health inequalities.
