|
Some fossil organisms are transitional forms between groups of organisms.
|
|
|
Fossil organisms often share physical similarities with living organisms.
|
|
|
All fossils contain intact DNA that can be sequenced
|
|
|
Fossil ages can often be determined by testing nearby rocks.

Detailed explanation-1: -The statement ‘all fossils contain intact DNA that can be sequenced’ is NOT TRUE about the evidence that fossils provide (Option C). Fossils are preserved remains or traces of remains (e.g., bones) of past life forms such as, for example, plants and animals, which lived on the Earth a long time ago.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is NOT true about the evidence that fossils provide? All fossils contain intact DNA that can be sequenced.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fossils provide important evidence for evolution and the adaptation of plants and animals to their environments. Fossil evidence provides a record of how creatures evolved and how this process can be represented by a ‘tree of life’, showing that all species are related to each other.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fossil organisms often share physical similarities with living organisms. All fossils contain intact DNA that can be sequenced. Fossil ages can often be determined by testing nearby rocks.
Detailed explanation-5: -For many reasons, the fossil record is not complete. Most organisms decomposed or were eaten by scavengers after death. Many species lacked hard parts, which are much more likely to fossilize. Some rocks and the fossils they contained have eroded and disappeared.
