It affects the population because mutations can be deadly and they're passed down from one generation to the next making the population shrink.
genetic divesity
It causes diversity and variation amongst a population
-Extra, missing or damaged chromosomes could show the presence of genetic disorders.
Environment
Genetic variation allows a population to adapt to a changing environment.

As each new generation is produced, genetic variation may be introduced into a population. The more genetic variation in a population, the more likely it is that some individuals might have traits that will be advantageous if the environment changes.
The chemical responsible for genetic information in a cell is DNA
When there is low genetic variation in a population the species produced are unlikely to withstand diseases.
effect of genetic diversion on environment
True
Simple reproduction, metabolism and excitability, maintenance of an internal chemical environment different from that of their surroundings.
Low genetic diversity is the most important factor for Cheetahs to adapt in the changing environment. Their population is dwindling, hence these are endangered.
