What factor probably has the most control on life span and the aging process in animals?

1) diet


2) exercise


3) envirinment


4) genetic makeupWhat factor probably has the most control on life span and the aging process in animals?
Quite simply, your question is a little too vauge. Talking about every single member in the Kingdom Animalia is a bit difficult for anyone. In this case its genetic makeup entirely. House flys can survive at maximum for 72 hours, while certain species of clam regularily live over a century.








Within a single species, it is often a combination of enviroment and the availibility of food. An enviroment with a minimum of predators and abundant food will dramatically increase the life span of a species as opposed to areas with abundant predators or a food shortage.
