Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Breeding and training race horses involves selecting the best combination of genes from the parent horses to produce offspring with desirable traits. This is an example of positive eugenics, which aims to enhance the genetic quality of a population by encouraging the reproduction of individuals with desirable traits. Negative eugenics aims to decrease the frequency of undesirable traits in the population, while sterilization plans (voluntary or involuntary) are measures used to prevent reproduction altogether, not improve genetic quality.
