How does nonrandom mating affect evolution?
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.
What is one potential negative consequence of nonrandom mating based on geographic proximity?
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.
Is it true that random mating leads to micro-evolution?
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.
What must occur for the gene pool within a population change?
Natural Selection/Genetic Drift
What does Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict will happen to the population allele and genotype frequencies after 1 generation of random mating?
What all the ideal non-real conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict; no evolution takes place. Mating is assortative, non-random in the real world and sexual selection is at work when assortative mating takes place, thus evolution.
What are the influences of evolution?
genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, natural selection and nonrandom mating ( sexual selection ).
How do change Genetic equilibrium lead to speciation?
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.

How can nonrandom mating change allel frequencies?
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.
Is nonrandom mating a change in the gene pool results in adaptation to the environment?
no because the same species mate with the same spices!!
Forces that cause genetic change in a population?
That forces are natural selection, mutation, gene flow, nonrandom mating, and genetic drift.
Breeding within only a narrow band of the population demonstrates what?
nonrandom mating
Breeding within only a narrow band of population demonstrayts?
Nonrandom mating
What Breeding within only a narrow band pf the population demonstrates what?
A) Nonrandom mating
What is the difference between nonrandom mating and reproductive isolation?
Nonrandom mating refers to individuals in a population having an equal opportunity to mate with other organisms in the population. Most organisms choose their mates based on physical and behavioral characteristics. Reproductive isolation refers to physical barriers segregating population and therefore causing change in genetic variation.
