Answer:

The smallest positive number is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smallest positive number = x

45 is a multiple of 9 ⇒ 9 x 5 = 45

the next multiple of 9 after 55 is  63

= 9 x 7

= 63

Thus, x + 55 = 63

x = 63 - 55

x = 8

The greatest common factor of 45 and 63 = 9

Therefore, the smallest positive number is 8

{If this is a biology question} 

The bottleneck effect can be explained by the cheetah population. Cheetah's used to be unique and many before they were hunted. Their population dropped so low, breeding produced almost exact 'clones'. The bottleneck effect is when genetic diversity is lost.
