An scientist observes a population of cheetahs on the plains in southern Africa and noticed that cheetahs have very little genetic variation. The scientists claims that the cheetahs are susceptible to extinction as a result of climate change. What is the name of the effect the scientist observed and why is it a concern ?(1 point)

Disaster effect, because the cheetahs have mutated to produce ineffective proteins

Frameshift mutation, because it only produces ineffective proteins.

Substitution mutation, because the these mutations cannot be passed to offspring

Bottleneck effect, because it means most cheetahs could succumb to the same environmental stresses

Answer:

Bottleneck effect, because it means most cheetahs could succumb to the same environmental stresses

Bottleneck effect, because it means most cheetahs could succumb to the same environmental stresses.

  •  There is a decline in the population size in because bottleneck effect limit the genetic diversity of the species as only a small part of original population is there.

What is bottleneck effect?

The bottleneck effect refers to the way in which a reduction and subsequent increase in population's size affects the distribution of genetic variation among its individual.
