Answer:

Fossils provide direct evidence of evolution. They show the changes of animals from ancient organisms to present form. Fossils are the preserved remains of earth layers. There are 4 types of fossils-

Original fossils that are not very old.  e.g. teeth, skeleton, shells.

Frozen fossils

less permanent fossils

casts, molds,  and prints - wings, skin, leaves, etc.

The fossils show the adaptive radiation in horses, humans. The transition fossils form the connecting link between different groups such as fish and amphibians, reptiles and birds, etc.  

e.g. Archeopteryx is the connecting link between the reptiles and birds.

The modern horse Equus have several ancestor species, we came to know from the fossil records.

The fossil record shows the evolution of humans and their ancestors.

Many traits (phenotypes), like eye color, are controlled by multiple genes. If eye color were controlled by the number of genes
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

If there are 5 genes, let us assume that they are in the alternative forms with 2 possible gets for each five... So we have

2 possible gametes for each five = 2 to the power of 5 = 32 gametes

Then genotypes = 3 to the power of 5 = 243

The same also for 10 genes

2 possible gametes for each 10 = 2 to the power of 10 = 1024 gametes

Then genotypes = 3 to the power of 10 = 59,049

The same also for 20 genes

2 possible gametes for each 20 = 2 to the power of 20= 1,048,576

Them genotypes = 3 to the power of 20 = 3,486,784,401
