14. Mating is not random 100 points

15. “Fitness” refers to what? 200 points

16. those individuals with favorable traits survive and reproduce 200 points

17. The cheetahs have very little variation in their population. This is due in part to an ice age thousands of years ago which drastically reduced their population and more recently, it is due to poaching and habitat loss. The cheetahs loss of variation occurred as a result of ________. 300 points

18. the bottleneck effect 300 points
