Question

Scientists excavated a skull fossils that provides evidence of newly discovered species of big cat.

Scientists hypothesize that cats today branched off from wild cats that lived 6 million years ago.

Which of the following resources would provide evidence of the scientist's hypothesis?

Group of answer choices

population and migration data of the cats

records of the interactions between the cats

fossil record and DNA comparisons between the cats

food web of the feeding relationships of the cats

Answer 1

Fossil record and DNA comparisons between the cats

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the population and migration data wouldn't help because they just tell how many lived and where, the records of interactions between the cats only shows the cat's personality, and the food web/feeding relationships only shows what to cats eat.

The fossil record and DNA comparison could show the branching and how much DNA current cats share with fossilized cats.
