Please help . - How do scientist explain the incomplete fossil record? A) The fossil record is limited to fossilized animals and

the absence of fossilized plants.
B) Stasis occurs when the structure of a species in the fossil record does not change over a long period of time.
C) Not all organisms become fossils. Processes like erosion and mountain building can change rock layers, causing fossils to be spread over multiple layers or destroyed.
Eliminate
D) The adaptive radiation of mammals helps explain a rapid increase in mammal diversity of the fossil record after a mass extinction.

Answer:

Option C.

Scientist explain the incomplete fossil record because not all organisms become fossils. Processes like erosion and mountain building can change rock layers, causing fossils to be spread over multiple layers or destroyed.

Explanation:

  • Fossils are the remains of organisms that are found on the rocks after they die.
  • So, no one can be 100% sure about the complete fossil record because of the continuous process like erosion and other natural calamities.
  • The sediment must cover any organism's remains to start the fossilization process to start. Most of the organisms start decomposing  before this process can be executed.

Why is it very unlikely for a frameshift mutation to be a silent mutation?
never [62]
When a frameshift mutation occurs, the string of DNA will be glued together. When this DNA is going to be part of a process, such as a transcription, whatever is causing the process is unaware of the mutation actually having happened.

Cell wall - Adds structural support to the cell. Holds the cells together
Cell membrane - Serves as a barrier to the cell and allows more nutrient and molecules to move in and out of the cell without letting things that can harm the cell in. 
Outer membrane - Serves the same basic functions a the cell membrane. (Depending on how complicated the class your in is, I would visit this website for more information... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_outer_membrane )
Pili - Help the cell move and attach the bacteria to surfaces are other cells. 
DNA - Contains the genetic instructions on what the cell can physically do, operate, and reproduce. 
Flagellum - Helps the cell move. It kind of acts like a propeller for the cell so that it can move around.
