Why would scientists use the fossil records to help them determine the species of the unknown primate?
To compare the evolution of its relatives.
To see if the fossil has the same mass as a jaw of other primates.
To determine if the fossil has the same number of teeth as a modern primate.
To identify evolutionary relationships between the unknown and known fossils.
In biology, NATURAL SELECTION is
organisms that are stronger will hunt and eat other animals
organisms with more primitive adaptations tend to survive
when you select a new pet, like a cat or dog
organisms with better adaptations to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring
An ancient ANCESTOR is
an extinct species related to a current species
a current species that turned into an extinct species
an imposter of the imperial empire
a false equivalency between flatulence and belches
Which of the following statements should Baltazar use to support his scientific explanation?
I have shared my thoughts with other scientists, and they seem to agree with my explanation.
Based on my knowledge and experience at the Natural History museum and the age of this bone, I would argue that it belonged to a flying dinosaur.
After reviewing our results, comparing it to the research that has been conducted by other scientists, the evidence supports the possibility that the bone belonged to a flying dinosaur.
In my observation, I noticed that the bone was hollow. I remember learning in college that birds have hollow bones, and considering the age of the bone I believe that the fossibelong to a flying dinosaur.
