If you understand the types of fossils, you should be able to predict what type of fossil is most likely to yield DNA evidence. O Trace fossils are most likely to yield DNA evidence because they preserve traces of an organism. O Intact fossils are the most likely to yield DNA evidence because the organic remains are preserved intact. O Compression fossils are most likely to yield DNA evidence because the sediments' weight compresses the organic material below into a thin, carbonaceous film. O Cast fossils are most likely to yield DNA evidence because they represent a mold of the entire organism. Request Answer Submit

Using radioactive isotopes to determine the age of a fossil is known as radiometric dating. How might radiometric dating provide support for the theory of evolution by natural selection? Hint—Consider the age of fossils with respect to the overall fossil record (the entire collection of data regarding fossils and the age of Earth). “Navy coffee” is where the coffee is brewed strong and a bit of salt is added. What is special about water that allows you to put sugar or salt in your coffee? To help answer this question, consider the opposite situation: Why do salt scrubs that you buy in a high-end spa consist of large salt crystals in oil?
