When comparing the 8th generation of both the random and planned breeding population, a noticeable difference can be detected. During random breeding, the most dominant allele, H, drastically outweighed the other alleles by the 8th …show more content…
It is unrealistic that a population of ferrets bred for an extensive period of time would be incapable of being rehabilitated into nature. When an animal is raised in captivity, it’s natural habits and methods of survival can be lost after generations and generations of being raised in captivity by humans. The animal is likely to lose many of its extinctive abilities. Humans provide helter, food and warmth and therefore the animal’s risks losing their ability to provide for themselves. To reduce the factor of domestication, reserves and tracking devices could be incorporated into planned breeding methods. The reserve would allow for the animal to remain in their natural habitat and remain relatively unthreatened while the tracking would allow for scientists to continue to monitor their locations and still be able to reinforce planned
