Why are fossils considered important in the study of evolution? Explain two ways by which age of fossils can be estimated.

(a) Fossils represent modes of preservation of ancient species. (b) Fossils help in establishing evolutionary traits among organisms and their ancestors. (c) Fossils help in establishing the time period in...

Fossil fuels are considered important in the study of evolution in many ways: i-) Fossils provide us to know any link between different species of organisms. ii) Fossils help in establishing evolutionary...

Scientists combine several well-tested techniques to find out the ages of fossils. The most important are Relative Dating, in which fossils and layers of rock are placed in order from...

Fossils provide evidence in favour of evolution or establish evolutionary relationships by providing missing links.  Two ways to determine the age of fossils  1. Relative method – Fossils found closer to the surface are...

Preserved traces of living organisms are called fossils. Two ways of determining age of fossils are: (i) Relative-fossils closer to the surface are more recent. (ii) Dating-finding the ratio of different isotopes of...

Fossils provide evidence in favour of evolution. They establish evolutionary relationships by providing missing links. Age of fossils can be determined by the following ways:  (i) Relative method – Fossils found...
