In Lake Malawi cichlid fishes, one can observe two color variants, Black Barred (BB) and Orange Blotch (OB)

Sex in these fishes are not determined by a sex chromosome, but rather 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 dis-rupted and they have little mating success. How would this process influence the as-sociation of alleles at the color locus and sex determining locus? What will be an ideal response?
