Assortative Mating: Assortative mating is a nonrandom mating pattern where individuals with similar genotypes and/or phenotypes mate with one another more frequently than what would be expected under a random mating pattern. Researchers studying this topic collected data on eye colors of 208 Scandinavian men and their female partners.

Assortative Mating: Assortative mating is a nonrandom mating pattern where individuals with similar

a random mating pattern. Researchers studying this topic collected data on eye colors of 208 Scandinavian
men and their female partners. The table below summarizes the results (rows represent male eye color
while columns represent female eye color). For simplicity, we only include heterosexual relationships in
