What is true about the isolated small tribal populations?
| 1. | There is no change in population size as they have a large gene pool. |
| 2. | There is a decline in population as boys marry girls only from their own tribe. |
| 3. | Hereditary diseases like color blindness do not spread in the isolated population. |
| 4. | Wrestlers who develop strong body muscles in their lifetime pass this character on to their progeny. |
In the case of peppered moth (Biston betularia), the black-colored form became dominant over the light-colored form in England during the industrial revolution. This is an example of:
| 1. | Inheritance of darker color character acquired due to the darker environment. |
| 2. | Natural selection whereby the darker forms were selected. |
| 3. | Appearance of the dark-colored individuals due to very poor sunlight |
| 4. | Protective mimicry |

The eye of an octopus and the eye of a cat show different patterns of structure, yet they perform similar functions. This is an example of:
| 1. | Homologous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution. |
| 2. | Homologous organs that have evolved due to divergent evolution. |
| 3. | Analogous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution. |
| 4. | Analogous organs that have evolved due to divergent evolution. |
