Cheetahs are one example of a population that has very limited genetic variation.

Which of the following groups of animals are most likely to have a limited variety in the genetics of their population?

Question options:

A. animals that have a very large population.

B. animals that live on more than one continent.

C. animals on the endangered species list.

D. animals that live in both hot and cold climates.

Answer:

Animals on the endangered species list.

Explanation:

An endangered species has very limited genetic variation (e. g Cheeta). The population of the cheetah that is already near to extinct is less likely to evolve much in response to the changing environment. The less chances of surviving are because of lesser chances of carrying positive mutations and diverse gene pool development during crossing. Hence, cheeta is an example of a population that has less chance of variation.
