How old an organism is
Mutations can introduce new traits to a population. The mutation may eventually become common within the population, but only if it -
increases genetic diversity

F
D
E
B
If a portion of the population becomes reproductively isolated from the other members and they no longer interbreed, then this has occured -

What best describes Darwin's statement "survival of the fittest"
The animal in the best shape will survive the longest
