Me. this is my last question, for this course i’m literally stuck for this

discussion topic transitional fossils are fossils of organisms that have characteristics of their ancestors' species and their descendants' species. why do you think these fossils are important to the study of evolution? do you think the word transitional is a scientifically appropriate description for these fossils? knowing how fossils form, do you think it's likely that humans will ever piece together a complete fossil record for every species that ever existed on earth? why or why not?

Explanation:

Why are fossils considered important in the study of evolution?

- Fossils are an important part of the study of human evolution When a plant or animal dies its body is acted upon by various forces of nature like wind, air; With time body decomposes and gets covered by layers of soil in millions of years Due to increasing pressure with every layer of soil getting added it creates an impression of the body while it further decays, Even it is acted upon by hot temperature inside So even after millions of years of extinction of a species we can study about it looking at its impression in soil known as Fossil one of the ways is.

Idk the rest sorry you can ask this dude tho @Dracula007

1. Transitional fossils tells a story of  the relationship between the ancestors and the descendant, this allows scientists to determine or study the common pattern in development. This fossils are also used to prove the Darwin theory of evolution.

2. Yes the synonym of transitional is 'midway' and/or ;middle'. Transitional fossils are fossils that have traits of their ancestor and descendant. Thus these fossils exist between (middle) of their ancestor and descendant.

3. No, I don't think it is possible for all species that ever existed, because some fossils exist in places that humans cannot reach.
