1. Conservation biologists studying cheetah populations have determined that the lack of genetic diversity among the cheetahs is due to genetic drift. Which statement explains the most likely consequence of having a low genetic diversity on the cheetah population? A. The gene pool remains in equilibrium and future generations of cheetah offspring are stronger and better adapted to their environments.

B. The cheetah population becomes less likely to survive an outbreak of a disease or an environmental change, increasing the chance of species extinction.

C. The chances of mutations occurring in the cheetah population are decreased, increasing the cheetah survival rate.

D. Genetic variability is maintained from older cheetah populations that have survived and endured environmental stressors.

You are studying several alleles of an e. coli helicase gene. one allele, called rsr, confers resistance to rs2014, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting helicase activity. bacteria with the rss allele are sensitive to rs2014. another allele, called ts-, produces a temperature sensitive mutation of the helicase. in bacteria with the ts- allele, helicase is inactivated at 42 °c but functions normally at 37 °c. helicase functions normally at both temperatures in bacteria with the ts allele. you obtain the following data while testing four strains of e. coli at different temperatures and doses of rs2014. each number represents the percentage of maximal dna synthesis. based on this data, assign the appropriate genotype to strains a–d in the spaces provided
