  1. Because recessive deleterious genes which are are not expressed in the heterozygous individual may be expressed in the inbred individual by becoming homozygous.

    EG. Individual 1 AaBbCc and indiviual 2 AaBbCc could produce an inbred individual aabbcc which would express the recessive alleles.
