Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of pen mating: Pen mating is a breeding method where animals are kept together in a confined space (a pen) to mate naturally without controlled pairing.
Consider the typical organisms used in genetics and breeding studies: Fruit flies and yeast are usually bred in controlled laboratory conditions with individual pairings or cultures, not in pens.
Mice are often bred in cages with controlled pairings rather than in open pens, to track lineage and genetics precisely.
Poultry, such as chickens, are commonly bred using pen mating because they can be kept in groups within pens, allowing natural mating to occur in a controlled environment.
Therefore, pen mating is mostly used by poultry due to their housing and breeding practices.
