Your evolutionary fitness "depends not only on your own genotype, but also on the genotype of your friends", Christakis said.
Random mating means the absence of a genotypic correlation between mating partners, i.e. the probability that a given organism mates with an A1A1 partner, for example, does not depend on the organism's own genotype, and similarly for the probability of mating with a partner of one of the other two types.
Thus, if the mother partially lacked A1 receptors, the offspring displayed hyperactivity during habituations and responded more strongly to cocaine as adults, regardless of their own genotype.
The maternal effects are so obvious that the same or greater order of importance as the offspring's own genotype was reported in variation in offspring traits at multiple developmental stages [43], [44].
One to four males and one to four virgin females were collected from each inbred genotype (540 flies in total), and these males and females were haphazardly mixed into vials with five males and five females per vial (no males were placed in vials with females from their own genotype, insuring that all F1 offspring were mixed genotypes).
When social interactions have a genetic basis, the social environment is heritable and a focal individual's phenotype is influenced directly by its own genotype (direct genetic effects) and indirectly by the genotypes of social partners (indirect genetic effects) [2], [4] [7].

In the model, each individual expresses, at many different times in its lifetime, its real-valued trait depending on the probability distribution determined by its own genotypes.
Females may prefer males with genes compatible with their own genotypes, rather than males with "good genes" [2], [9], [10].
Furthermore, individuals will increasingly gain knowledge of their own genotypes through Direct-to-Consumer services.
Alternatively, females might choose males carrying alleles that are compatible with their own genotypes.
Researchers performing their own genotyping may already benefit from utilities within GWAS Analyzer that generate PLINK formatted genotype files for use as input for PLINK association analyses.
