Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) (02.03 LC) A scientist studied four rock fossils that show evolution of the modern-day horse dating back to 35 million years, 15 million years, 8 million years, and 1 million years ago. Which rock fossil is most similar to the modern-day horse? 35 million years 15 million years 8 million years 1 million years

Answer 1

The answer is 1 million years

Step-by-step explanation:

it is 1 million years because that is the most recent time to choose from, therefore it will most likely be the closest to the modern day horse.

Hope this helps, and have a great day :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is 1 millon years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fossil rocks serve to study the evolution of species throughout history. Species usually adapt to survive the changing environment around them. Given this fact, we can deduce that the oldest species were very different from the way they are today. This means that the current species are more similar to those that preceded them more recently. The fossil of 1 million years ago is the most similar to today's horse.

Have a nice day!
