Question

Which of the following is a type of non-random mating?
A) Consanguinous mating
B) Assortative mating
C) Discoursive mating
D) Consanguinous mating and assortative mating
E) Assortative mating and discoursive mating

Accepted Answer

Consanguinous mating (mating between individuals who are closely related) and assortative mating (mating based on phenotypic similarities or differences) are both types of non-random mating. They involve specific selection criteria, unlike random mating where mates are chosen regardless of genetic relationship or phenotypic similarities.
