Answer:

Out-crossing can introduced harmful and disease causing recessive genes in gene pool of recipient group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out-crossing is the process of crossing two unrelated organisms with each other. It is mostly done in animal breeding to increase the productivity of cattle and to overcome inbreeding depression. However, the process of Out-crossing can introduced disease causing recessive genes in gene pool of recipient group from the donor group.

I had to look for the options and here is my answer:

When we say outcrossing, this is the process of breeding done in two different species. The possible disadvantage of this process to the organism that receives the genetic material is that there will be a higher chance that this genetic material will be rejected by the group.
