Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

1. The fossil record is often incomplete, in part because scientists will never be able to discover some of the fossils that are buried deep in the earth. 2. When ocean levels dropped about 70 million years ago, marsupial mammals moved into North America and displaced many of the placental mammal species. 3. Placental mammals give birth to more fully developed offspring than marsupial mammals and therefore have a greater chance of offspring survival. This helps to explain why placental mammals from North America displaced many native South American marsupial mammals when a land bridge formed between the two continents. 4. The common skeletal organization between two vertebrate animals, with bony limbs used for movement, is a example of analogous structures. 5. The techniques used to study molecular evolution are based on the comparison of nucleotide and amino acid sequences among species.
