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 African wild cat (Felis silvestris lybicus) and the domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus).
• The Western honey bee is divided into several honey bee races
