Explanation / Answer

Race refers to a person's physical characteristics, such as bone structure and skin, hair, or eye colour.

Ethnicity concerns the cultural characteristics such as language, history, values, and customs that connect a particular group or groups of people to each other. While race and ethnicity share an ideology of common ancestry, they differ in several ways. First of all, the race is primarily unitary. You can only have one race, while you can claim multiple ethnic affiliations. You can identify ethnically as Irish and Polish, but you have to be essentially either black or white.

Gender roles- According to Sociologists and other social scientists, gender is a socially constructed concept. As per the concept of gender, there are masculine (men) roles and feminine (women) roles. These are culturally permitted and must be adhered to. Gender roles, in this view, arise from the need to establish a division of labour within the family. Because of their biological role in childbirth and breastfeeding, women in virtually every culture and society around the planet have the primary responsibility for childcare. Similarly, men have traditionally had the responsibilities for hunting and waging war because of their relatively greater size and strength.
