How does radiometric dating provide support for the theory of evolution by natural selection?

Biology

Answer:

By establishing linking features of fossils in different age brackets through radioactive dating

Explanation:

Radioactive dating estimates the age of fossils and rock. Fossils are remains of living organisms that are primarily found in the sedimentary rocks. Carbon dating is used to determine the age of the fossils that are not older than 50 thousand years.  

For fossils older than that uranium dating is used. Based on the age estimation of fossils, fossils belonging to the same age bracket are grouped from the oldest time to the most recent time thereby marking the common characteristics of different fossils at each age brackets. In this way radioactive dating helps the scientist in establishing evolutionary links.

Provide an environment (bowl or container) filled with 100 of each "prey" type (Consider beans, uncooked pasta, or cotton balls)
Mama L [17]

The activity demonstrated natural selection as the beans will most likely survive since they are better suited to their environment .

<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>

Natural selection is the process which organisms which are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce while those not adapted die.

In the simulation, the "prey" are beans, uncooked pasta, and cotton balls. The predators are fork, knife, and a spoon.

Using the predators to pick up the prey, the beans were more adapted as they escaped being caught the most, as they had the least number picked up.

Therefore, the beans will most likely survive, demonstrating natural selection which states that organisms better suited to their environment survive the most.
