Solution

Random breeding within a deme is referred to as panmixia.

Explanation:

Random breeding within a deme (local breeding population) is called panmixia. It means individuals mate randomly without any restrictions related to genotype, phenotype, or spatial distribution. This ensures gene frequencies remain in equilibrium unless other evolutionary forces act.
