Question

use the passage from \white bias in genetic research may hurt health\ to answer the question. heavily biased genetic databases could—and do—lead scientists and doctors to diagnose conditions or prescribe treatments that might be relevant to people with european genes, but not for people from other racial backgrounds. question: which statements from the \white bias in genetic research may hurt health\ article represent reasons that directly support the authors claim? select the two correct answers. (1 point) \if we dont 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. any two humans in the world share about 99.9% of their dna with one another. and health treatments that dont 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.

Explanation:

The author's claim is about the harm of white - bias in genetic research. Statements about exacerbating health inequalities due to lack of ethnic diversity and problems caused by ignoring genetic diversity in health treatments directly support this claim. The other statements are about human origin and DNA similarity, which are not directly related to the claim.

Answer:

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.
