URGENT PLEASE HELP


1 . What is a genetic bottleneck?


2 . What were the causes of the cheetah population bottleneck?


3 . What are the dangers of a population with minimal genetic diversity?


4 . What are some scientific investigations conducted that confirm the lack of genetic variation in the cheetah gene pool?



5 . What current threats are pushing cheetahs on the brink of extinction?



Part 2:
Research: Find an example of one other species population that has experienced a bottleneck. Write a paragraph in the table below that explains what happened, the species' status now, and if/what is being done to protect them.
