  • Q2
    Fossil records can be used to support evolution by giving what type of information about various organisms?
    Fossils show how organisms developed as embryos and can be used to make comparisons with modern day organisms
    Fossils give some information about the relative age of organisms as well as appearances
    Fossils show how organisms lived during their respective ages and can lend proof to natural selection

    Natural selection
    phylogony
    adaptation

    There must be a change in color based on the organisms' habitat
    There must be a change that better helps it to survive.
