Which effect would the change in tree color most likely have on a dark-colored gene in the insect population?

The dark-colored gene will shift from recessive to dominant
The frequency of the dark-colored gene will rise in the population
Offspring will be more likely to inherit the dark-colored gene if one of their parents has the gene

Rabbits are not native to Australia, having been brought there from England by sailors in the late eighteenth century. Yet rabbits have thrived in Australia to the point of becoming too numerous.

Which idea about evolution is supported by these facts?

Different species originally developed because of changes in some shared ancestral genetic code.
Many species have body parts that look similar because they evolved from the same ancestral mammal.
Species evolve in similar ways when they react to similar surroundings.
