Abstract

The system of mating that maintains a general genotypic distribution among females with respect to an X-linked locus is defined. In particular, it is shown that Hardy-Weinberg proportions can be maintained with non-random mating.

Keywords: Hardy–Weinberg proportions; X-linked locus; XG; non-random mating.
