Why is the fossil record biased

Biology
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]2 years ago
6 0

Information in the fossil records are incomplete, scientists are left with certain biases concerning fossil preservation. Fossils are the preserved remains of organisms that are found in rocks. They give clues to how the earth has evolved in geologic past, and the nature of organisms that lived during that period in time.  A lot of biases are known with fossil preservation as a geologic record might not tally with the phylogenic relationship developed by biologists.  Some fossils can become lost in the geologic record due to the dynamic nature of our planet. Earth materials can be eroded and weathered causing preserved fossils to be lost and exposed.  Some organisms are naturally favored due to their physiology to be preserved as fossils in the geologic record. Others would be lost. This makes records of life in preserved as fossils highly subjective.

Hope this helps, good luck!

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) possessed by Gram-negative bacteria contributes to the virulence and pathogenic potential of these
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

A. Lipid A

Explanation:

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is present outside to the thin peptidoglycan layer. The outer membrane consists of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which is the molecule having both carbohydrates and lipids.

The lipopolysaccharide has three parts out of which lipid A is the toxin one. Lipid A is embedded in the outer membrane through its fatty acids. When lipid A enters the blood stream of the host cell, it leads to septic shock. Lipid A is heat stable and highly toxic.

Imagen you are a Student in 1856 visiting Charles Darwin in his garden. Write a letter to a friend describing natural selection
pashok25 [27]

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It provides a viable explanation for adaptation and speciation as it explains the change in heritable traits characteristic of a population over time.  Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring. Natural selection can change a species in small ways, causing a population to change color or size over the course of several generations. Given enough time and enough accumulated changes, natural selection can create entirely new species. It can turn dinosaurs into birds, amphibious mammals into whales and the ancestors of apes into humans.
