1. Conservation biologists studying cheetah populations have determined that the lack of genetic diversity among the cheetahs is due to genetic drift. Which statement explains the most likely consequence of having a low genetic diversity on the cheetah population? A. The gene pool remains in equilibrium and future generations of cheetah offspring are stronger and better adapted to their environments.

B. The cheetah population becomes less likely to survive an outbreak of a disease or an environmental change, increasing the chance of species extinction.

C. The chances of mutations occurring in the cheetah population are decreased, increasing the cheetah survival rate.

D. Genetic variability is maintained from older cheetah populations that have survived and endured environmental stressors.

You have just sequenced a new protein found in mice and observe that sulfur-containing cysteine residues occur at regular intervals. what is the significance of this finding? it will be important to include cysteine in the diet of the mice. cysteine residues are required for the formation of α helices and β pleated sheets. cysteine residues are involved in disulfide bridges that form tertiary structure. cysteine causes bends, or angles, to occur in the tertiary structure of proteins.
