The answer is in your question. We have no clue.
What we do not know about how living organisms recreate themselves is much more, and more important (IMO) than what we do know.
We know that DNA plays an important role. We also know that DNA is not the whole story.
We know very little about how DNA plays it role. We terribly confused with analogies to coding systems we know about, but it is clearly much more than a code.
The part of reproduction that does not involve DNA is almost a complete mystery.
In normal breeding we do not have to be concerned about what we do not know, when we start changing DNA it becomes very important
We are creating novel self replicating organisms, there is a lot that might go wrong. A very small chance of complete catastrophic results
But, money
