Chloroplast protein subcomplexes are made from the chloroplast AND nuclear genom

Question

Chloroplast protein subcomplexes are made from the chloroplast AND nuclear genomes. Describe in detail why this might be disadvantageous.

I received the following answer to this question but it does not help me at all as it is repetitive and vague. —>

Chloroplast protein sub-complexes are made from chloroplast and nuclear genome. The DNA that is present in the chloroplast is both the nuclear genome and from the chloroplast. The chloroplast DNA which has its own DNA are circular and consists of two inverted repeats. The inverted repeats are conserved and are prone to some mutations. It is disadvantage because presence of the chloroplast DNA along with the nuclear genome leads to lot of stress to the plant due to the transfer of the genetic material between the chloroplast and nucleus. The transfer facilitates control of the expression of the genes but due to this there might be loss of functions and it might also lead to elimination of the nuclear DNA in presence of the chloroplast DNA.
