The picture shows the fossil of Archaeopteryx. Does this fossil support the theory of evolution?

• yes, because it is a complete fossil and only complete fossils can be used to prove the theory of evolution

• yes, because it shows evidence of feathers, indicating that it might be a distant relative of birds

• no, because it is so different that it cannot be compared to any modern day organism

• no, because it dates back more than one hundred million years ago beyond the scope of dating techniques

What type of evidence is this picture show

• Fossil

• Geography

• Embryology

• Anatomy

• DNA

Answer explanation

The picture shows a fossil, which is the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms. Fossils provide crucial evidence for understanding the history of life on Earth, distinguishing them from other types of evidence like DNA or anatomy.

Which statement is correct about the theory of evolution, which is a piece of scientific knowledge that explains that all organisms have one common ancestor?

• All scientists agree on the theory of evolution.

• It was and still is a highly debated topic among scientists.

• It was one of the fastest theories to form as evidence for it plentiful.

• All scientists choose to disprove the theory of evolution because most evidence does not support it.

What happens when a species is unable to adapt to a changing environment?

• it will adapt and become a new species

• it will most likely go extinct

• it will not adapt but will keep on living

• it will move to a new area where it can live
