Industrial melanism is a phenomenon that best demonstrates:
| 1. | The overuse of industrial pollutants leading to genetic mutations in species. |
| 2. | The ability of a species to change color in response to industrial pollution. |
| 3. | Evolution through natural selection, where darker individuals become more common due to industrial pollution. |
| 4. | The disappearance of industrial pollutants from the environment due to the adaptation of microorganisms. |

The frequency of an allele in a population is ultimately decided by:
| 1. | Dominance |
| 2. | Whether it is autosomal linked or sex linked |
| 3. | Forces such as natural selection |
| 4. | The number of alleles present for a particular gene |
