Non-random mating is otherwise known as sexual selection. Some see this as distinct from natural selection, but I think that sexual selection is merely a form of, or perhaps more a complication of natural selection. Selection, natural or sexual, is the effect that "guides" evolution, that allows evolution to produce populations suited to their environment.
Nonrandom mating can affect evolution by altering the frequency of certain genotypes in a population. It can increase or decrease the occurrence of specific traits, leading to changes in the gene pool over time. This can ultimately impact the evolution of the species by influencing genetic diversity and the prevalence of certain characteristics.
One potential negative consequence of nonrandom mating based on geographic proximity is an increase in the prevalence of genetic disorders in the population due to higher chances of mating between individuals with common genetic traits. This can result in a higher frequency of inherited diseases and genetic abnormalities in offspring.
Yes, random mating can contribute to micro-evolution by altering allele frequencies within a population over time. It introduces genetic variation, which can drive evolution through mechanisms like genetic drift and gene flow.
Short and memorably answer. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms. Natural selection is the main driver of adaptive change leading to evolution.
Natural selection and sexual selection are both mechanisms of evolution, but they differ in how they shape species. Natural selection acts on traits that affect an organism's survival and ability to reproduce in its environment, leading to adaptations that increase survival and reproduction. Sexual selection, on the other hand, acts on traits that affect an organism's ability to attract mates and reproduce, leading to the development of traits that enhance mating success. In summary, natural selection primarily influences survival and reproductive success in the environment, while sexual selection primarily influences mating success and reproductive opportunities.
Nonrandom mating can affect evolution by altering the frequency of certain genotypes in a population. It can increase or decrease the occurrence of specific traits, leading to changes in the gene pool over time. This can ultimately impact the evolution of the species by influencing genetic diversity and the prevalence of certain characteristics.

Nonrandom mating
A) Nonrandom mating
Non-random mating means that individuals of many species have a choice about which partners to mate with. In population genetics, allele frequencies are used to depict the amount of genetic diversity in a species. There is no current research to show nonrandom mating impacts a species genetic diversity.

Nonrandom mating.
Allele frequency is altered by genetic drift, natural selection, migration, mutation, or nonrandom mating. This results in a change in genetic equilibrium in a population that is evolving. Evolution leads eventually to speciation.
no because the same species mate with the same spices!!
