Evidence of Evolution Lesson

Multiple Choice

How do fossils support evolution?

• The fossil record provides evidence that organisms have changed over time.

• Individual species disappear and reappear in the fossil record over time.

• The fossil record provides evidence that all organisms developed at the same time.

• Organisms in the fossil record are identical to living organisms.
