Alleles are present on genes of the organisms and the traits that get masked in the presence of a dominant character that does not create a physical appearance is called recessive trait.

Inbreeding will have the disadvantage of bringing two recessive alleles together.

The genetic defects due to inbreeding can be explained as:

  • Inbreeding is a type of mating between closely related organisms of the phylogeny tree. It goes against the law of biological mating as there is no recombination of genetic material.

  • The combination of recessive genes in an organism is most likely to cause genetic defects in inbreeding resulting in miscarriages, abnormalities and stillbirths. To have a recessive disorder presence of two recessive alleles will be enough for causing the genetic defect.

Thus, inbreeding will result in genetic defects.
