Answer:

Homogenous pool have less adaptive variations and makes the endangered cheetah more prone to extinction by any disease.

Explanation:

Presence of adaptive variations in gene pool prevents their possible extinction when exposed to adverse conditions. Homogenous gene pool lack genetic variations. Absence of adaptive variations makes the cheetah population more prone to get affected with a disease for which they have lower resistance. In due course of time, the disease might kill the individuals.
