Answer 1

Answer 8:

Filipinos (Filipino: Mga Pilipino) are the people who are native to, or identified with the country of the Philippines. Filipinos come from various ethnolinguistic groups that are native to the island country.

The professorial address synthesizes the findings of several studies on the genetics of Philippine population groups and presents them in a manner accessible to nonspecialists. These studies examined different types of DNA (Y-chromosome, mitochondrial, and autosomal) samples contributed by participants in twelve regional centers and nineteen ethnolinguistic groups. The data reveal (a) genetic affinities with different groups in the Asia-Pacific region, (b) genetic signals of ancient demographic events, (c) an ancient genetic history of about 5,000–50,000 years ago, and (d) a complex population genetic structure.

Philippines have the 99.9% of DNA same.

Answer 9:

When describing the effect climate has on human appearance it is important to remember that physical characteristics such as skin colour, eye shape or hair type are determined by genetics and that only over sufficiently long periods of time has the environment i.e climate, provided selective pressure to develop particular characteristics within a population.

The other factor is genetic influence on physical characteristics.

Answer 11:

The people in central Asia do not appear to have clear race because in central Asia people migrated from different areas of the world and not native of Asia.

Most of the people in the central Asia belongs to different tribes that do not have any clear race or nationality.

Answer 22:

Africa has 3000 distinct ethnic groups, 2000 languages. Home to the most genetically diverse people on Earth. So diverse that two Africans are more genetically different from each other than a Chinese and a European are from each other. Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent.

Africa is a continent. Made of multiple countries and a variety of different environments from oceanic, to jungle, to desert.

Queens is a city. A city where all kinds of diverse people live - but nonetheless, smaller in scale than an entire continent.

Answer 2

8. Filipinos have genetic similarities, 99.9 of their DNA are the same.
9. Physical characteristics can be influenced by climate and heredity. Living in an environment has natural effects on changes and evolution of man, including its physical characteristics
11. Because of the successive colonizations of their country and trade with different nations. This made a chance for some Filipinos to get married to foreigners. This affected the physical features of their sons and daughters and their family line.
22. Queens is a place in New York City that is believed to be the most diverse urban place having almost half of the population as foreigners. However, Africa is the most diversed country in the world compared to Queens because their genetics revealed that they have 100 bloodlines that make their ancestors hard to trace.
