VOCABULARY
paleontology
MAIN IDEA: Fossils provide a record of evolution.
Choose the best answer for the question.
1. What is the study of fossils and extinct organisms called?
a. paleontology
b. geology
c. biology
d. archeology
2. What is a “missing link” in the fossil record?

b. a transitional fossil that shows how two species are connected
c. a fossil that is physically impossible and cannot exist
d. a fossil that shows a vestigial structure
3. Why are transitional fossils important?
a. They show that even very ancient fossils can be found in old seabeds.
b. They show that artificial selection was being practiced even in
ancient times.
c. They show that there are links between ancient and modern species.
d. They show that the fossil record is constantly growing and being updated.
