Which of these is least likely to change the gene pool of a population of chipmunks?

A gene pool changes when alleles are added, removed, or become more or less common. Moving to a new habitat can change the population through migration, and mutation or pesticide-related deaths can affect allele frequencies. Deaths due to old age are least likely to change the gene pool, especially if they occur after the chipmunks have reproduced.
