Do sea turtles or any similar animals suffer from inbreeding in the probability that both the male and the female are from the same mother mate together and produce siblings?

The likely hood of this level of inbreeding in sea turtles is low for a number of reasons. First the number of turtles produced that survive to sexual maturity is relatively low, and these turtles are essentially nomadic in a vast ocean which makes mating opportunities with sibling turtles remote.
While there is a possibility that a full brother and sister turtle could mate the chances are very remote that it would happen enough times in any sea turtle population to result in inbreeding throughout an entire species of sea turtle.

How a horse breeder might use selective breeding to produce horses that have golden coats?
You would use essentially the same technique to breed horses with golden coats that you would use to breed for any specific trait in any animal. You look for animals who already have that trait, or who have it even to a partial degree, and you breed them together, and then you select the offspring who best exhibit that trait and breed them, and so forth.

Which of the following has the disadvantage of possibly bringing two recessive alleles together and causing a genetic defect?
If you selectively breed two animals with a recessive trait, they will pass on that trait to their offspring. A recessive allele must appear twice in a genotype to appear physically. I hope I answered your question.
Why do farmers need to know their animals time between generations?
to avoid inbreeding them with their own generation, so that no mutations occur in their genes :)
What is the result of inbreeding?
When humans/animals interbreed with one another, mutations in the DNA occur, which leads to deformities in the newborn, if the foetus survives.
How do natural selection and inbreeding help to reveal latent variety within animal and plant kinds?
Inbreeding leads to homozygocity. The recessive genes remain unexpressed in the heterozygous condition. Homozygocity of recessive genes make it possible to express them. Thus, inbreeding in animals and plants, during natural selection, can reveal latent variety when expression of latent genes is possible.
