Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is an impediment to understanding evolutionary history of all organisms
A
presence of vestigial structures
B
lack of transitional fossils
C
lack of homologous structures
D
presence of analogous structures
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The three limitations of Darwin’s theory concern the origin of DNA, the irreducible complexity of the cell, and the paucity of transitional species. Because of these limitations, the author predicts a paradigm shift away from evolution to an alternative explanation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transitional fossils help scientists bridge gaps in the tree of life, resulting in a picture of gradual evolution over millions of years. Transitional Tetrapod Fossil: According to modern evolutionary theory, all populations of organisms are in transition.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transitional fossils are remnants of an organism that came in between a known version of a species and the current species. Allegedly, transitional fossils would be evidence for evolution because it would show intermediate forms of a species and they changed and accumulated adaptations at a slow pace.

Detailed explanation-4: -They say the fossil record fails to show what are called “transitional forms, ‘’ generally the in-between stages as one type of creature evolved into another. The fossil record certainly has gaps, mostly because the conditions required to create fossils have been rare ever since life began on Earth.
