consider a population of cheetahs, inhabiting a protected area in africa. in 2012, there were 112 cheetahs in this population. during that year, 60 of those animals reproduced and 48 new cubs were born. what constitutes the gene pool of the new generation made of those 48 new cubs?

All the alleles of all genes passed from the parents to the offspring.

Explanation:

During the process of reproduction, fertilization, zygote formation etc, the genes of the parents involved are passed down to the 48 new offsprings through the chromosomes.

Thus the gene pool which is defined as the set of all genes in any population, usually of a particular species will constitute all of the alleles of all the genes that were passed from the 60 parents to the 48 new offsprings.

Alpha cells in the pancreas begin to produce a different hormone called glucagon. It signals the liver to break down stored glycogen and turn it back into glucose.
