What is true about the isolated small tribal populations?

(1) There is a decline in population as boys marry girls only from their own tribe.

(2) Hereditary diseases like colourblindness do not spread in the isolated population.

(3) Wrestlers who develop strong body muscles in their life time pass this character on to their progeny.

(4) There is no change in population size as they have a large gene pool.

Industrial melanism as observed in peppered moth proves that :

(1) the true black melanic forms arises by a recurring random mutation. 

(2) The melanic form of the moth has no selective advantage over lighter form in industrial area

(3) The lighter-form of the moth has no selective adavantage either in polluted industrial area or non-polluted area

(4) Melanism is a pollution- generated feature.
