RACE (BIOLOGY)

:''For discussion of the term as used in anthropology, see Race.''
In biology, a 'race' is any inbreeding group, including taxonomic subgroups such as subspecies, taxonomically subordinate to a species and superordinate to a subrace and marked by a pre-determined profile of latent factors of hereditary traits.
Examples of race include:

★ The key lime and the Mexican lime, both of species ''Citrus x aurantifolia''. The Mexican lime has a thicker skin and darker green color.

★ The wild cat (''Felis silvestris silvestris''), desert cat (''Felis silvestris lybica'') the domestic cat (''Felis silvestris catus'').

★ The Western honey bee is divided into several honey bee races
