Genetic drift has reduced the polymorphism of the cheetah population. The cheetahs probably underwent a "genetic bottleneck" a few thousand years ago, when the population was reduced to just a few individuals. Then as they reproduced, all surviving cheetah offspring were closely related.

How does Evolutionary Trends affect Natural Selection?
Adaptation for stronger shells.
What happens to unnecessary traits during the process of natural selection?
How does natural selection affect undesirable traits?
Why does natural selection not directly affect genes?
Natural selection acts on the way organisms interact with one another and with their environment. The genes of organisms are not usually themselves involved in this interaction: they direct it through intermediaries such as proteins. So natural selection must work through these intermediaries to affect genes.
Is a frog an example of natural selection?
No, a frog is not an example of natural selection itself. Natural selection is a mechanism for evolution that acts on populations of organisms over generations, influencing the traits that are passed on to the next generation. Individual organisms like a frog can be impacted by natural selection, depending on their traits and how those traits affect their survival and reproduction.
What are defactors that affect the process of natural selection?
Some factors that can affect the process of natural selection include mutation rate, genetic diversity within a population, environmental changes, competition for resources, and presence of predators. These factors can influence which traits are favored or selected for in a population over time.
How does selection affect natural selection?
Organisms are affected by Natural Selection because Inherited characteristics affected the likelihood of an organism's survival and reproduction.
Which does natural Which does natural selection affect?
natural selection is basiclly only the strong survive which means it effects the weak by killing them but bernifits the strong
How does natural selection affect survival?
Natural selection is the process which determines the shark's evolution. It is humankind that is threatening the sharks' survival.
Which does natural selection affect populations or individuals?
Populations evolve, but individuals are selected. Natural selection affects individual organisms.
Why is it hard for natural selection to stop the declin of the cheetah population?
No genetic variation in the cheetah population gene pool, so natural selection has nothing to select from and the inbreeding depression keeps deleterious traits breeding true among cheetahs and natural selection can not eliminate them from the gene pool.
What other theories are there except for natural selection?
Evolution by natural selection is currently the only viable theory explaining the diversity of life. However, the mechanism of natural selection is not the only mechanism to affect evolution. There are phenomena such as genetic drift, biased gene conversion, intragenomic conflict, and so on, that aren't exactly the same as natural selection (although they are all intertwined and all affect one another), but do affect the direction of evolution.
