A factor which is least likely to change the gene pool of a population of chipmunks is: C. A number of chipmunks die due to old age.

A gene can be defined as a component of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which is responsible for the production of a single (one) protein product.

Hence, a gene is the complete set of hereditary instructions which is typically found in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and it produces a single (one) protein product.

When a number of chipmunks die due to their old age, this is a natural phenomenon and as such it is least likely to change the gene pool of their population.

However, some of the factors that may cause a change in the gene pool of the chipmunk's population include:

  • A change of habitat.
  • Genetic mutation.
  • The use of pesticide to kill the chipmunks.
