Why is the fossil record of marine organisms MORE complete than that of organisms from terrestrial ecosystems?

Answer: Gaps in the fossil record. Because not all animals have bodies that easily fossilize, the fossil record is considered incomplete.

Explanation:

The fossil record is in fact incomplete, preserved fossils represent a biased sample, fossil discovery is not random and those found reveal only partial information about the original organisms. Nucleic acids, for example, have a very limited survival time.

Under normal conditions of fossilization, only about 15% of organisms are probably conserved. The fossil record is influenced in favor of those animals and plants with hard, mineralized shells, skeletons or cuticles, and towards those that live in marine environments.

Based on these facts, we can state that the genes of the two organisms had a eukaryotic origin.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Despite having exons, prokaryotes do not have introns in their genomes.
  • This means that if two organisms have the same sequence of introns and exons, they have a common ancestor, in addition to having their genes originated in a eukaryotic organism, which explains the sequence of introns.

This means that the genetic expression of these two organisms has similarities, even if they are organisms with different biological processes.
