  1. Genetic distance

    Genetic distance refers to the genetics genetic divergence between species or between populations within a species. It is measured by a variety of parameters. Smaller genetic distances indicate a close genetic relationship whereas large genetic distances indicate a more distant genetic relationship. Genetic distance can be used to compare the genetic similarity between different species, such as humans and chimpanzees. Within a species genetic distance can be used to measure the divergence between different sub species. In its simplest form, the genetic distance between two populations is the difference ... Basques, 41.2 in France and 41.1 in England. Thus the genetic difference between the Basques and French is 9.2 and the genetic difference between the French and the English is 0.1 for the RH negative trait.
