Question

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.
(1 point)
"'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."
"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."
"And health treatments that don't take the variations of genetically diverse populations
into account can cause problems."
"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."
"Any two humans in the world share about 99.9 percent of their DNA with one
another..."

Answer 1

The two statements that represent reasons that directly support the author's claim about the bias in genetic research and its implications for health are:

1. "'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."

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

These statements highlight the consequences of ignoring genetic diversity in research and how it can lead to health disparities.
