Answer 1

All of the above answers are correct. The cheetah gene pool is small today due to a combination of factors, including poor adaptability, lack of advantageous traits, inbreeding in zoos, and multiple bottleneck events in their natural habitats. These factors have resulted in a loss of genetic diversity among cheetah populations, making them more vulnerable to various threats, such as disease and habitat destruction.
