Transitional fossils are fossils of organisms that have characteristics of their ancestors’ species and their descendants’ species. Why do you think these fossils are important to the study of evolution? Do you think the word transitional is a scientifically appropriate description for these fossils?
Knowing how fossils form, do you think it’s likely that humans will ever piece together a complete fossil record for every species that ever existed on Earth? Why or why not?

NEED ANSWER TO BE AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH IN LENGTH AND IT ALSO NEEDS TO MAKE SENSE. THANK YOU, WHOEVER ANSWERS CAUSE YOUR A LIFE SAVER.

1. Why do you think these fossils are important to the study of evolution?

Ans. 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.

2. Do you think the word transitional is a scientifically appropriate description for these fossils?

Ans. A transitional fossil is a term used to describe a fossil that shows a transitional form of two different species. ... As the theory states that organisms have gradually changed from one from to another form transitional fossils should be found that show evidence of the transitional forms of the organism.

3. Knowing how fossils form, do you think it’s likely that humans will ever piece together a complete fossil record for every species that ever existed on Earth? Why or why not?

Ans. The fossil record is somewhat like an enormously complex jigsaw puzzle with many pieces still missing.  Our interpretation of this record has been biased by differential preservation.  Some species are underrepresented or have not yet been found.  We are left with a somewhat blurred picture of portions of the past, especially the early past.  Despite these realities, we have been able to piece together a remarkable understanding of the evolution of life on our planet.
