State

Nonrandom mating changes genotype frequencies when individuals do not pair at random, whether from mate preference or unequal access to partners.

Show

Assortative mating, where individuals preferentially mate with phenotypically similar partners, is one common form of nonrandom mating.

Watch for

Nonrandom mating changes genotype frequencies specifically — it does not, by itself, change underlying allele frequencies in the gene pool.
