Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Selective mating involves choosing breeding partners based on desirable traits or abilities, such as the ability to perform well in sheepherding. This process allows breeders to increase the likelihood that their offspring will inherit those desirable traits, leading to a greater number of sheepdogs that are adept at sheepherding. Gene splicing and epigenetic marks are not typically used in dog breeding, and sexual overperception bias is not a method used by breeders to produce sheepdogs with specific traits.
