positive assortative mating
A form of non-random mating in which individuals who are alike for particular traits mate and those who are not alike do not. The result is a progressive increase in the frequency of homozygotes and a decrease in the heterozygotes for the discriminated traits. See negative assortative mating, consanguineous mating, and random mating.
