1. Refers to subgroups within a race

ANSWER

ANS: 3
Ethnicity refers to a shared identity related to social and cultural heritage, such as values, lan-guage, geographical space, and racial characteristics. Race refers to biological attributes.
Subcultures refer to subgroups within a race. A variant cultural pattern is a unique factor within a cultural group. Ethnocentrism is the root of biases and prejudices comprising beliefs and attitudes associating negative permanent characteristics with people who are perceived to be different from the valued group.
