Answer:
B each new layer has a new bit of the story to tell and you can see sequential time with each strata
A. 1. Embryological development is very similar for many animals so it would differ a lot from the DNA.
2. embryological evidence is a poor substitute for DNA evidence because of it's almost universal progression. It would be more difficult to see difference in embryos vs via DNA
D. Homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor. Like the arthralgus of a whale that looks very similar to a terrestrial mammals tells us that the whale evolved from land mammals
C. Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.

Basement membranes are thin, dense sheets of specialized, self- assembled extracellular matrix that surround most animal tissues. The basement membrane is a fibrous matrix composed primarily of glycoproteins, type IV collagen, and laminin that are secreted by the epithelial cells.
Answer:
The correct answer is option b. "Guppy color patterns would change; guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring; the nitrogen excretion rate would increase and the rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase".
Explanation:
The Trinidadian guppy is a species of fish with the scientific name <em>Poecilia reticulata</em>. Just like almost all species, its population is regulated for multiple factors, one of them being the presence of predators. The removal of Trinidadian guppy predators would result in multiple consequences:
- Guppy color patterns would change. The fish have a complex coloration determined largely by predation avoidance.
- Guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring. This adaptation has been proved in an experiment at which the fish was introduced one a low predation environment. The report proved that evolution can take place in less than 10 years.
- The nitrogen excretion rate would increase. It has been reported that predation reduce Trinidadian guppy nitrogen excretion by 40%. Removing the predators will case the nitrogen excretion rate to increase due to an increase in the fish food intake.
- The rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase. This is an effect of the increase of nitrogen excretion rate, which benefits algae population to growth.
