Why is agreement between the fossil record and phylogenies constructed from living organisms considered to be strong evidence of evolution?
A. It is unlikely that two independent methods
of investigation would result in the same
pattern by chance alone.
B. All living organisms will eventually become
fossils, so evidence of their evolution will be
recorded in the fossil record.
C. Phylogenetic methods based on DNA
sequences can suggest that two species are
closely related, but only fossils can show
direct evidence of an evolutionary relationship
between species.
D. Evolutionary processes cannot be studied
directly in the laboratory alone, so it is
necessary to compare living and extinct
species to see evidence of evolutionary
change.
E. All of the answer options are correct.
