Use the information and diagram to answer the following question.
Scientists discovered a 375-million-year-old fossil in Canada. The diagram shows the top and side views of the fossil.
Which observation would best support the claim that this organism was a transitional form between amphibians and fish?
A.
The fossil is larger than most modern amphibians, but smaller than most ancient fish.
B.
The fossil has some body structures that are homologous to amphibians and some body structures that are homologous to fish.
C.
The fossil has some body structures that are analogous to amphibians and some body structures that are vestigial.
D.
The fossil was discovered near a lake, which shows that the organism needed water to reproduce, as do amphibians and fish.
Which features characteristic of humans are unlikely to fossilize? a. the bones and dung b. the jaws and dung c. behavioural and soft tissue features d. behavioural and hard tissue features
