So, here's something that's been bothering me for a while. The Omnitrix has samples of every species in the Milky Way galaxy (over one million), so obviously the Highbreed have a DNA sample in the Omnitrix (originally on Primus). I have a couple of questions about this. First, let's assume that the DNA of the Highbreed the Omnitrix has is from the species' prime speciman, before their inbreeding caused a genetic disaster.

1) Why couldn't the Omnitrix, when repairing the DNA of the Highbreed, repair it using their own sample, as opposed to randomly selecting aliens to fill in the damaged DNA segments?

2) If the Highbreed sample that Ben has in the Omnitrix went bad somehow (similar to the episode in Ultimate when a new sample of Spider Monkey was needed), and a new sample was needed, would the Omnitrix recognize the extreme genetic diversity of the species, and how would it determine which specimen to sample?
