How do transitional fossils help explain the evolutionary steps that took place to produce modem organisms?​

Biology

Answer:

Transitional fossils show how a particular taxa accumulated adaptations to fit particular environment​s and/or ecological niches

Explanation:

Transitional fossils are fossilized remains of taxonomic groups/species that illustrate an evolutionary transition between a known version of a taxa/species and the current taxa/species. Transitional fossils are fundamental because they can be clearly differentiated from the ancestral group as well as of its derived descendant group. For example, there exist transitional fossils known as "mammal-like reptiles"(i.e., therapsids that gave rise to the true mammals), which are clearly different from current mammals.

hope this helps

Q6: A
Q7:D
Q8:C

Reasoning
Q6: Based on all the other questions talking about common ancestors I deduced that to find a “common” ancestor they need to find things that are the same.

Q7: All arthropod have a exo skeleton for example a lobster or crab. They all have a head, abdomen and thorax for example ants. They all have legs with joints for example a spider.

Q7:So bones are traveled down by ancestors so the types of bones stay the same but natural selection has changed them to better fit their environment.
