Problems with selective breeding
Future generations of selectively bred organisms will all share very similar genes. This could make some diseases more dangerous as all the organisms would be affected. Also there's increased risk of genetic disease caused by recessive genes.
Some genes would be lost, making it more difficult to produce new varieties in the future. In scientific language this would be described as ‘inbreeding can lead to a reduction in the size of the gene pool’.
