Question

What are fossils?
What is an evolutionary trend? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

. Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the past. Fossils are important evidence for evolution because they show that life on earth was once different from life found on earth today.

Evolutionary trends—which may be defined broadly as identifiable patterns in which the overall evolution of a trait occurs in a given direction within a group for a prolonged period of time 1 (Fig. 1)—are both real and important
