random MatingOne of the cornerstones of the Hardy-Weinberg
equilibrium is that
mating in the
population must be random. If individuals (usually females) are choosy in their
selection of mates the
gene frequencies may become altered.

random mating results in a deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg distribution.
Humans mate assortatively according to race; we are more likely to mate with someone of own race than another.
