If race is not a biological concept, is it still useful to study race?
A. Yes, because race actually is a biological concept that is supported by science.
B. No, it's not useful.
C. Yes, because race is a social concept and racism can cause inequalities that affect people's lives and health.
D. Yes, because race is a social concept but racism doesn't affect people's lives.
In 2011, the city of Calgary had 1,096,833 people living within the city limits. Since then, there have been 245,678 births and 189,753 deaths. A total of 159,753 people moved to Calgary from other cities or countries, while only 12,354 people moved away from Calgary.
How did the population of Calgary change since 2011?
Express your answer using scientific notation in the form of x.yz x 10d people.

- A gene has two alleles that are associated with body mass in an additive manner. The table below shows the mean phenotype for each genotype, along with the frequency of each genotype in a population. Use this information to answer the following questions. A1A1 A1A2 A2A2 Mean mass (kg) 50 55 60 Frequency 0.01 0.18 0.81 a) How much does this locus contribute to additive genetic variation? b)A second locus (B) has two alleles (B1 and B2), which are also associated with body mass in an additive manner. Each copy of the B2 allele adds 2 kg of mass. The B2 allele is at a frequency of 0.6 in the same population as the A alleles are found. How much does the B locus contribute to additive genetic variation? c) Assume that these two loci are the only sources of additive genetic variance for body mass. The total phenotypic variance for body mass in the population is 10 kg2.
