Answer:

Are there risks of mutations by interbreeding?

Explanation:

Selective breeding can be defined as the production of offspring by the mating of organisms in a given group to obtain desired phenotypic characteristics. White peacocks are closely related individuals that have a genetic mutation (leucism) that produces the lack of pigmentation in their plumage. It is well known that interbreeding between close relatives (inbreeding) increases the risk of recessive genetic disorders because organisms that are genetically closely related have more chances to carry a copy of the same recessive genes, which may or not contain recessive deleterious mutations. In consequence, in this case, it seems reasonable to ask if there risks of negative impacts caused by recessive deleterious mutations.

Why is the shape of a protein one of its most critical characteristics?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Protein becomes denatured and cease to perform the work if structural changes occur because protein is highly specific in its function. It is stated that the function of the protein is determined by its structure. The proteins are the product of the continuous process of replication, transcription, translation and post-translational modifications. The information stored in it highly specific.

Protein binds with other molecules and perform various physiological functions as it has specific complementary attachment sites, the alteration in the structure would not let it bind to the target and hence desired result will not come out.
