What is an assortative mating?
An assortative pairing is another name for an associative mating, the mutual attraction or selection of individuals with similar characteristics for reproductive purposes.
How does assortative mating influence the formation of relationships between individuals with similar traits?
Assortative mating is when individuals with similar traits are more likely to form relationships. This can lead to the reinforcement of certain traits within a population.
What has the author Safaa Y Awni written?

How does selective mating break h-w assumptions?
Assortative mating. Hardy-Weinberg condition, which are never met in the wild, posit random mating. We know that sexual selection does not tolerate random mating and female choice is a great driver of selective change in most organisms.

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.
When individual select mates based on heritable traits?
This is known as assortative mating, where individuals choose partners based on specific traits that are heritable. This can lead to the reinforcement of those traits within a population over generations.
What type of gene flow allows reduction of variation?
Gene flow that involves the movement of individuals from a high-variation population into a low-variation population can result in a reduction of genetic variation. This can happen if the incoming individuals do not introduce new alleles or if genetic drift and selection reduce the frequency of existing alleles.
What are some reasons that the rat population is not a hardy-wienberg equilibrium?
There is gene flow between populations, mating is assortive and natural selection is taking place from the variations offered un by recombination and mutation. Thus, alleles are changing frequency in the population of rats and negating Hardy-Weinberg constraints.
What is a sentence using hardy-weinberg principle?
According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the frequency of alleles in a population will remain constant from generation to generation as long as equilibrium is maintained through random mating, no gene flow, no genetic drift, no natural selection, and no mutations.
Which of mendels principles would apply to mating two organisms that have two different alleles for three different traits?
The principle of segregation and the principle of independent assortment would apply. The principle of segregation states that each parent contributes one allele for each trait, and the principle of independent assortment states that alleles for different traits are inherited independently of each other.
Is anus for mating?
The anus is not for mating.
