The answer is "racism."

Explanation for each option:

  1. Prejudice: This term refers to preconceived opinions or attitudes about a group or individual, often without proper knowledge or examination. While prejudice can be based on ethnicity, it does not necessarily imply a belief in biological differences.

  2. Racism: This is the correct answer. Racism is discrimination or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. It assumes that there are inherent biological differences between races that justify unequal treatment.

  3. Ethnocide: This term refers to the deliberate and systematic destruction of the culture of an ethnic group. It does not specifically imply a belief in biological differences.

  4. Genocide: This is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that group. While it can be related to racism, it is more about the act of extermination rather than the belief in biological differences.

  5. Stereotyping: This involves oversimplified and fixed ideas about a group of people. Stereotyping can be based on ethnicity, but it does not necessarily involve a belief in biological differences.

For Question 22, the term "Some statuses aren't mutually exclusive; they may be" is incomplete. However, in sociological terms, statuses that aren't mutually exclusive may be referred to as "achieved statuses" or "ascribed statuses," depending on the context. These statuses can overlap and coexist in an individual's social identity.
