    Answer: increases the chance that deleterious and lethal recessive alleles will combine to produce homozygotes with harmful traits.

    Explanation:

    Unlike crossbreeding, inbreeding encourages the mating of organisms of same species; thus preventing the introduction of other desirable traits and a state of continuous monopoly in transmission of inherited traits (both beneficial and deleterious)
