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.
