B. Each race is genetically distinct.
C. The question of race seems comparatively insignificant because 99.9 percent of humans' genetic makeup is identical.
D. Names can best reflect different races and ethnic groups.

Answer :

The concept of race is exceedingly imprecise because C. the question of race seems comparatively insignificant because 99.9 percent of humans genetic makeup is identical.

The concept of race is a social construct and not a biological one. It is based on physical characteristics and not genetic makeup.

The idea that there are distinct races is not supported by scientific evidence. In fact, the vast majority of human genetic variation occurs within populations, not between them.

Additionally, the idea that races are genetically distinct is also not supported by scientific evidence. Human genetic variation is continuous and does not naturally divide into distinct groups.
