They help in that, many recently discovered fossils form series that trace the evolution of modern species from extinct ancestors. Patterns in the distribution of living and fossil species tell us how modern organisms evolved from their ancestors. Evolutionary theory explains the existence of homologous structures adapted to different purposes as a result of descent with modification from a common ancestor.

Answer:
B. Geothermal
Explanation:
Fossil fuels and coal both require extremely old material to form.  Geothermal energy is generated and stored in Earth.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Sexual reproduction:
Pros: leads to greater genetic variation. 
Cons: requires more time and energy. 
Asexual reproduction: 
Pros: Does not require finding a mate. 
Cons: Produce less genetic variation. 
Explanation:
Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in higher organisms, in which new individuals are formed by combining genetic information from two different types (sexes) of individuals. 
Advantage: Sexual reproduction leads to higher genetic variation due to recombination between genetic material of female and male gamete during meiosis. 
Disadvantage: Sexual reproduction is a time and energy consuming process as it needs interaction between mates and organisms which are produced sexually require more time for development. 
Asexual reproduction involves formation of new organisms from a single parent organism without gamete fusion. 
Advantage: Asexual reproduction requires less time and energy as it does not require finding a mate. 
Disadvantage: Asexual reproduction produces less genetic variations as it involves only parent organisms (no mixing of genetic information) and the only source of variations are random mutations.
