5. Cheetahs are big cats that roam the African savanna. Because of a mass extinction event 12,000 years ago, cheetah populations have very low genetic
variation.
a. How will this lack of genetic variation affect natural selection and the survival of a
cheetah population if the environment changed dramatically?
b. What is the most likely source of new genetic variation in a cheetah population?

Explanation:

the food storage products of chrysophytes are oils or the polysaccharide laminarin.   formerly classified as plants, the chrysophytes contain the photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a and c all but the yellow-green algae also contain the carotenoid pigment fucoxanthin.

well for one plants are always the producer, so a is the answer. a wolf is more of the consumer(predator) and the deer is the prey so i know those two are out of the question. also mushrooms are fungi/fungus so a is the producer.
