n. Scientists have found one new fossil that is similar to Archaeopteryx. It is only the second fossil of its kind. It shows an animal that had a long-feathered tail and small teeth, like non-avian dinosaurs. But the animal also had flight feathers and wings, like modern birds. The fossil also shows a fused clavicle bone, which confirms the relationship between birds and dinosaurs because they are the only two groups with this characteristic. What is true about this scenario? It shows evidence of evolution. It shows evidence of widespread expression. It shows evidence of climate change. It shows evidence of causation.
Taphonomy tells us ab0ut preservati0n biases in the fossil rec0rd. What kind of biases affect 0ur understanding 0f the large animals 0f the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous? (a short list with explanations or 2-3 short paragraphs) need help asap, thank you in advance
Identify and explain the type of natural selection (directional, disruptive, stabilizing) that accounts for the evolution of the hollow bones of birds, which make flight possible.

The ancestors of extant tetrapods first evolved the ability to live out of water over 350 million years ago. Which of the following had to have been true for natural selection to have favored the original evolution of limbs? A) Closely related lineages that remained in the ocean must have gone extinct. There must have been differences in survival and or/reproduction based on size, musculature, bones or other (B functional aspects of early limbs. Large predators must have been a major source of mortality for populations that spent more time in the water and less on land. The ability of some ancestral fish-tetrapod transitional forms to move from one body of water to another during D droughts must have led to decreased mortality. E There must have been less competition for food on land.
(1) What is the most common way for a dead organism to avoid decomposition? (2) Why do researchers look for fossils in places that are now dry and barren instead of other places like forests or grasslands? (3) What kind of dating from the lecture or textbook would be the best method for finding the number of years ago when a volcanic rock was formed? (4) Why is the pelvis of a biped shorter and wider than the pelvis of a quadruped? (5) Does the overall shape of Lucy’s pelvis resemble the human pelvis or the chimpanzee pelvis more? Do not think of the size, but compare the outlines of each bone. This is Lucy's skelton below.
All mammals share a similar structure of the vertebrae in common. For instance, in spite of its height, the giraffe has the very same number of neck bones (seven) as a giant whale and a tiny human being. How does this show evidence of a common ancestor?

Fossils This is a series of skulls and front leg fossils of organisms believed to be ancestors of the modern-day horse. Pilebirrus Marvebirrus Eohippus Equus (modern horse) (Dawn Horse) Give two similarities between each of the skulls that might lead to the conclusion that these are all related species. 1. 2. What is the biggest change in skull anatomy that occurred from the dawn horse to the modern horse? 3. What is the biggest change in leg anatomy that occurred from the dawn horse to the modern horse?
