Which statement is true about fossilization? (A) (B) (C) (D) Only animals with backbones (vertebrates) fossilize. Only animals with hard structures, such as bones or shells, fossilize. Animals always fossilize, but plante fossilize under certain conditions. All organisms fossilize, depending on the environmental conditions.

Use the image to answer the question. If you were to create a phylogenetic tree of these organisms, which would branch off first and why? please explain

Fossils that serve as transitional links allow scientists toa. determine how prehistoric animals interacted with each other.b. deduce the order in which various groups of animals arose.c. relate climate change to evolutionary trends.d. determine why evolutionary changes occur.

If you discovered a fossil of an extinct mammal thatlived high in the Andes, would you predict that it wouldbe more closely resemble present-day mammals fromSouth American jungles or present-day mammals thatlive high in African mountains? Explain.

Which of the following is most likely to be true of two modern organisms that have a distant evolutionary relationship? a. They should have fewer homologous traits in common than two more closely related organisms b. They should have very similar chromosomes Oc. They live in very different habitats d. They should be members of the same genus e. They should have a relatively recent common ancestor*

Why is the gap in the fossil record not a major problem for evolutionary theory?

Evidence for biocultural evolution during the Upper Pleistocene may exist in the form of craniofacial morphological differences between premodern humans and modern humans because, as one interpretation mentioned in your text suggests… Group of answer choices deep concentration on the creation of cave art murals resulted in the selection for more gracile craniofacial morphology in modern humans hunter gatherers used landscape surveying methods to hunt and gather resources, a practice that required long periods of squinting resulting in supraorbital browridge muscle robusticity frequent spiritual rituals focused around chanting practices resulted in enlarged craniofacial muscle attachments basket weaving techniques required the use of the teeth as a clamp to temporarily hold the sinew technological innovations assisting with food processing resulted in anatomically modern humans not needing large teeth and facial muscles to chew and process their foods

According to Scottish geologist Charles Lyell, the Cenozoic Era (including the Eocene, Miocene, and Pliocene epochs) extended over which of the following time periods in the fossil record? the Paleozoic Era, from the start of the Cambrian into the Permian Period the “age of reptiles”, from 252 million years ago to 66 million years ago the “age of birds and mammals”, from 66 million years ago to the present day the “age of fishes”, from 541 million years ago to 252 million years ago the Mesozoic Era, from the start of the Triassic into the Cretaceous Period
