  2. aa aa aa AA Non-random mating affects the frequency of genotypes in a population, but does not change allele frequency Positive assortative mating Negative assortative mating X X All offspring heterozygous All offspring homozygous

  3. Biston betularia - the peppered moth Dark morph on sooty tree Each morph on the “wrong” tree Grey moth on lichen
