Fossils show how the complexity of living organisms has changed over time. Gerobatrachus hottoni was a unique organism that lived during the Permian period between ancient salamanders and ancient frogs. Scientists have nicknamed this organism the “frogamander” because it is believed to be a common ancestor of both modern frogs and salamanders. A frogamander.

Which type of fossil is Gerobatrachus hottoni most likely to be?
intermediary
phylogenic
transitional
index

answer; i believe that the correct answer to this statement is (exoticism); //

exoticism was a trend where musicians created music based on a far off foreign

answer: that would be cheating

explanation:

the last one: artificial selection/genetic engineering

plant breeding is modifying the genetic composition of the plant - but this isn't cloning (which is specifically introducing a gene into a genome). but you are artificially selecting for the phenotype that you want.

the second one is literally genetic engineering - the gene would have been cloned first and then inserted or genetically engineered into the new plant cell (the cotton).
