| 1. | Random mating would be disastrous for the gene pool, as even Hollywood acknowledges.
|
| 2. | When the random mating assumption is violated, the population will not have Hardy Weinberg proportions.
|
| 3. | For animals, mating strategies include random mating, disassortative mating, assortative mating, or a mating pool.
|
| 4. | In the absence of population structure, Hardy-Weinberg proportions are reached within 1-2 generations of random mating.
|
| 5. | The others, through a century's random matings, had become Smiths and Weatherspoons and Fillsons and such.
|
| 6. | Assortative mating is the opposite of random mating.
|
| 7. | A common cause of non-random mating is inbreeding, which causes an increase in homozygosity for all genes.
|
| 8. | In genetics, " random mating " involves the mating of individuals regardless of any physical, genetic, or social preference.
|
| 9. | Thus there are fewer matings between mice sharing MUP haplotypes than would be expected if there were random mating.
|
| 10. | Different species use different strategies to select a mate, including random mating, disassortative mating, assortative mating, and a mating pool.
