Competition drives natural selection, as individual members of a species compete with each other for limited natural resources.
2the canada goose and its subspecies may be undergoing the process of new species forming or becoming distinct.
3the of horses is comprehensive, and clearly shows the evolution of horses over millions of years.
respond to the following based on your reading.

4how does the fossil record provide empirical evidence for evolution?
5what’s a geographic variation in the fossil record?
6why is a more detailed fossil record preferable for supporting evolution?
7how do fossils support evidence of the phylogenetic tree?
8what’s intraspecific competition?
answer
1intraspecific
2.speciation
3.fossil record
4. the fossil record provides empirical evidence for evolution because it shows that species now aren't the same as species that existed in the past and that small changes happen over time to create new species.
5. a geographic variation in the fossil record occurs when two similar organisms occupy the same time span in two different places. these organisms hold the same purpose within the overall ecology.
6. a more detailed fossil record is preferable for supporting evolution because it allows for the instances of gradual change to be recorded and placed into broader speciation events.
7. fossils provide a great many intermediaries that connect past species with their living descendants.
8. intraspecific competition is competition that occurs within species. this is the competition that drives natural selection.
