Select the scenarios that are likely due to positive assortative mating. Purebred dachshunds have a higher incidence of degenerative disc disease compared to mixed breed dogs. Short muscular males from native indigenous tribes do not preferentially select the tallest and slimmest muscular wives that resemble their own physique. Tall, slender males in the same native tribe preferentially select the tallest and slimmest wives that resemble their own physique. A corn farmer carefully selects corn with the largest kernels to pollinate other corn plants. Grasshoppers randomly select mates based on proximity and suitability. In large populations, low inbreeding can result in genetic mutations.
