  The two sets of pie charts above show two possible results from a study like the Rosenberg study that we examined in class. Both possibilities show possible results for the same locus. Colors show different alleles. For each statement, select whether possibility 1, possibility 2, neither possibility, or both possibilities support the statement. Options may be used more than once.   Prediction 1) There is more variation within geographic regions than between geographic regions. [blank1]   Prediction 2) There is more variation between geographic regions than within geographic regions. [blank2]   Prediction 3) It is possible to identify someone’s geographic origin based on their allele at this locus. [blank3]   Prediction 4) It is impossible to identify someone’s geographic origin based on their allele at this locus. [blank4]
