Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disassortative mating refers to the preference for individuals that are phenotypically different at a variety of loci, which promotes outbreeding and leads to larger numbers of heterozygotes. Neutral theory, shifting balance theory, bottleneck effect, and founder effect are all different mechanisms that can affect genetic variation in populations but are not specifically related to mate choice based on phenotypic differences.
