Answer 1

Race is mixture of physical,behavioral and cultural atrributes in to categories which is understood by most of the people and they generally viewed as distinct by the society.The population can be divided in to major 4 races ; white,Asian,Negroid,Australoid.

1.False.In1970 most human difference were cultural,if it was not cultural was principally found in diverse group of people at different frequencies and it is gradually variable over geography.The race in biology is most effctively used in synonym of subspecies.The subspecies always seen in geographicallyisolated and genetically differentiated population.But in the case of human shows that they are not geographically isolated and the having smaller genetic difference as compared to the subspecies.The race cocept is to classify the people and how the rare concept is used is a matter of social convention.They differ on whether the race remains meaningful and useful social convention.

2.False.Blacks,hispanics,and other minority racial/ethnic group facing poor health care facilities as compared to others.Even if they get the treatment the care will not be equal to that of other categories.Hispanics facing low level of insurance coverage as compared to than any other group.Black and hispanics are more likely to receive care in nonoptimal organiational settings than whites but they lack continuity in health care.If the women become older above than 65 there is increase in the chance of having mammogram in uneducated black people.Asians,Indians ,japanese have getting uninsured rates that is lower than whites.

3. True, women risk for having  breast cancer is higher if she has a mother,sister,daughter,father side of the family,first degree male relative who had  breast cancer or ovarian cancer.

4. True, scientist have try to identify specific genetic MUTATION that can be passed from mother to daughter with them an increased risk of breast cancer.If inherited a mutated copy of either gene from parent can cause the risk of having breast cancer.The herited breast cancer is an inherited mutation in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene.

5.BRCA 1 is especiallly high among women of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.BRCA1 is mostly associated with disease in breast and ovarian cancer.This women are more likely to have BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation than other women in other ancestry.
