Answer:

The fern may be 650 million years

Explanation:

Fossilization of organisms and plants took place many years ago. Fossils are remains of plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and single celled living things that have been replaced by rock material or impressions of organisms preserved in the rocks. This happened when there was an anaerobic decomposition of burried dead organisms and plants that contained energy derived from photosynthesis. The organisms fossilized and became preserved in rocks.

In an experiment what should be the relationship between the control group and experimental group?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Ideally, the experimental and control groups are identical. As much as possible, the two groups should overlap in every characteristic.

Explanation:

At the beginning of your study, you need your two groups to be as statistically similar as is humanly possible. That way, when you control for other variables, you can reasonably attribute any statistically significant differences at the end of the study to your intervention.
