I think it is erosion (2) because erosion removes soil, rock, and dissolved material.
Answer:
Fossils provide direct evidence of evolution. They show the changes of animals from ancient organisms to present form. Fossils are the preserved remains of earth layers. There are 4 types of fossils-
Original fossils that are not very old. e.g. teeth, skeleton, shells.
Frozen fossils
less permanent fossils
casts, molds, and prints - wings, skin, leaves, etc.
The fossils show the adaptive radiation in horses, humans. The transition fossils form the connecting link between different groups such as fish and amphibians, reptiles and birds, etc.
e.g. Archeopteryx is the connecting link between the reptiles and birds.
The modern horse Equus have several ancestor species, we came to know from the fossil records.
The fossil record shows the evolution of humans and their ancestors.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>In highly diverged lineages, the substitutions process will occur at sites that have been substituted previously</em>.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Molecular clock uses the mutation rate to reduce the time in prehistory when the life forms are diverged. <em>The molecular clock uses the sequence of amino acids and nucleotide sequence for the DNA.</em>
This clock does not measure any time but the number of mutations, and other changes over certain time. <em>Sometimes its useful property might be limited due to the highly diverged lineages.</em>
