Which of the following mating patterns is likely to result in an increase of heterozygosity within a population?
A: Inbreeding
B: Disassortative Mating
C: Assortative Mating
D: Both disassortative mating and inbreeding
Homework Answers
Ans:- option B is correct.
Explanation:- disassortative mating is meeting between 2 who belong to separate cluster of traits.that is don't posses any similar phenotypic characters. Thus results in variety of combinations in the gametes.it leads to increase heterozygosity with in a population
In inbreeding cross occur between 2 closely genetically related species . Which produces more homozygosity in the population.
In assortative cross occur between 2 phenotypically similar species. In this case it also produces homozygosity.

Imagine a species of randomly mating rodents living on an island. As the sea levels increase the low-lying center of the island gets flooded so that the island is now cut in half and there is no way for the animals on one side of the flooded region to cross over onto the other side; effectively turning one island into two islands. What would you expect to happen to these populations over time. SELECT ALL THAT ARE CORRECT Group of...
