The challenge for studying female choice is that, once an individual female mates, her preference/choice cannot be measured again with a different trait combination. Thus, many preference experiments can only be measured in isogenic lines, limiting the number of species that can be assayed.

As an aside, lest you think that Monsanto is hiding something and the regulators don't know about these studies, consider that Monsanto is credited with providing these researchers with MON 810 corn and its isogenic non-GM line.

Morphology
isogenic = genetic (semi-transparent) = iso + gen + ic
Formed from scientific combining forms ('iso-' + a root related to 'genetic'); understandable to learners who know 'iso-' or 'genetic' but technical and likely unfamiliar to average B1 learners.
Etymology
Isogenic comes from Greek parts iso- meaning 'equal' and genos meaning 'birth' or 'kind', the same root seen in gene and generation. So isogenic literally means 'same origin' and is used for cells or organisms that have the same genes.
