Students have asked these similar questions
LOOK AND ANALYZE AT THE ILLUSTRATION BELOW. THE ANSWER WILL BE BASED ON THE ILLUSTRATION
For about how many years of geological time have the dinosours existed on earth??
Did dinosours exist at the same time as humans?
How do scientists determine when an era begins and when it ends?
What is the purpose of making a geological timeline
Imagine if centaurs were real. Make a Cladogram (Evolutionary Origin) showing its closest relatives (most shared characteristics) and where modifications evolved.
Use the scenario to answer the question.
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 causation.
It shows evidence of climate change.
It shows evidence of widespread expression.
