A lot of the organisms that have existed on earth have left no fossils because of the incredibly specific set of requirements for a fossil to form. First, it must settle into sedimentary rock, instead of being roasted to nothing else but carbon fragments from the formation of igneous rock, or be crushed and burned from the formation of metamorphic rock. Then, the conditions of the surrounding environment must be just right: high sedimentation rates, low soil acidity, lots of minerals and anoxic conditions are best. Also, the organism must have bones or some kind of material that can easily mineralize into a fossil.
An outlier would have been the organisms from the Cambrian period, which were fossilized at a high rate despite being mostly millimeter to centimeter long soft-bodied organisms. We have recently found out that this is due to the thick algal mats at the bottom of the Cambrian oceans. You can actually go see the Cambrian fossils at the Burgess Shale.

A man who heavily smokes has developed lung cancer. The tobacco smoke has caused mutations in some of the cells in his lungs, ma
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children

Explanation:

Even tho the cause of lung cancer is not very clear, a genetic predisposition is of a great influence, his smoking and therefore causing a lung cancer is not appliable to his children because of no connection, but in the sense of having a mutation which makes you predisposable to the cancer with or without the smoking, can lead to a high risk of gene inheritance and therefore inheriting the mutation with a high risk of getting lung cancer excluding the smoking.

Wind power:

Advantages:

-Using wind as a source of power is very cost-effective. This is method is fuel free and the electricity harvested from wind farms is sold at a fixed price over a long period of time.

-Wind power is a clean fuel source. Using wind as a source of power prevents air pollution unlike power plants that mostly rely on fossil fuels which releases toxins into the hair causing both environmental and health problems.

-Wind power is a sustainable source of power since nothing can really stop it from being produced. Since this source of power relies on air, as long as there is air, energy can be harvested.

Disadvantages:

-Wind turbines are usually built in rural areas due to the size of them and the amount of space needed to build them. Because of this, they aren’t usually close to cities or remote locations where the energy harvested from them is most needed.

-Wind turbines can harmfully impact nature. Because of their height and size, many birds and other flying animals end up getting killed by the spinning blades connected to the turbine.

-Locations to build wind turbines may be hard to get due to competition with other things that may be of more importance on the land compared to wind farms.
