Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Risks of selective breeding include: reduced genetic variation can lead to attack by specific insects or disease, which could be extremely destructive. rare disease genes can be unknowingly selected as part of a positive trait, leading to problems with specific organisms, eg a high percentage of Dalmatian dogs are deaf.
