Answer:

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

Explanation:

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.

Which statement about enzymes is correct?

irinina [24]

I think it is either A or B but I am not sure. I know a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction but I don't think it is B because I dont believe that an enzyme is shaped to interact with certain molecules. I would go with A or C. The choice is yours.
