Answer:
1. Intraspecific
2. speciation
3. fossil record
4. The fossil record provides empirical evidence for evolution because it shows that species now aren't the same as species that existed in the past and that small changes happen over time to create new species.
5. A geographic variation in the fossil record occurs when two similar organisms occupy the same time span in two different places. These organisms hold the same purpose within the overall ecology.
6. A more detailed fossil record is preferable for supporting evolution because it allows for the instances of gradual change to be recorded and placed into broader speciation events.
7. Fossils provide a great many intermediaries that connect past species with their living descendants.
8. Intraspecific competition is competition that occurs within species. This is the competition that drives natural selection.

In </span>multicellular organisms<span>, including humans, all cells, </span>tissues<span>, </span>organs<span>, and </span>organ<span> systems of the body work together to maintain the life and health of the </span>organism<span>.</span>

This question is incomplete. The options are:
<span>a. be choosy about which females they mate with.
b. be indiscriminant about which females they mate with.
c. mate with as many females as possible.
d. compete to mate with choosy females.
</span>
The answer is a: be choosy about which females they mate with.
This is because the male would in this case be investing a lot of energy in parenting its young, and would therefore adopt a strategy of mating with one or very few females. It therefore makes sense that the male would be choosy in regards to its mate.
