Disadvantages of selective breeding include health problems (e.g., chickens with mobility issues), animals lacking environmental survival advantages, reduced gene pool leading to vulnerability to diseases, and religious objections.
Las desventajas de la cría selectiva incluyen problemas de salud (ej. pollos con problemas de movilidad), animales sin ventaja de supervivencia ambiental, reducción de la diversidad genética que los hace vulnerables a enfermedades y objeciones religiosas.
| Front | What are the disadvantages of selective breeding? |
|---|---|
| Back | -Health issues (e.g. chickens which have been bred to be big may not be able to walk)
-Animals are not chosen to have an advantage in their environment
-Reduced gene pool. Less variation
If environment changes, new disease introduced could kill all of the animals because they have no immunity
(-Religious objections) |
