The fossil record documents the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of many life forms throughout the history of life o
n Earth. What are some of the "flawsscientists might encounter when studying the fossil record? Do you believe these flaws are significant? Why or why not?
The fossil records are beneficial in giving us. wide range of knowledge about fossils but sometimes these records are flawed, in that they are incomplete or misleading.
Many of the fossil records available are incomplete because some animals tend to decay within a short period of time due to their soft tissue. Also some are destroyed due to the movement of tectonic plates over time.
Another flaw scientists encounter is that there are no fossils which illustrate or represent the orderly transition from one organism to another. Fossils generally do not support the Darwinian theory of evolution as no evidence is found of ordered, sequential transition from simple to complex life forms as postulated.
These flaws are significant because they influence our knowledge and understanding of life forms and evolution.
The answer is D since organism x has a n optimal temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and when organisms y enzyme gets incorporated with enzyme x it will increase enzyme’s x temperature therefore enzyme x will denature meaning it will unfold and it will loose its properties hence loosing its activity because its temperature has been altered.
