Essay

In Lake Malawi cichlid fish,one can observe two color variants,Black Barred (BB)and Orange Blotch (OB).Sex in these fish is not determined by a sex chromosome but by a gene on an autosome,which produces either males or females.Both of these phenotypes are controlled by one biallelic locus each.OB females have a selective advantage in terms of their survivability: The OB phenotype allows females to blend into their background.OB males have a selective disadvantage because their reproductive coloration is disrupted and they have little mating success.How would this process influence the association of alleles at the color locus and sex determining locus?
