Question
Palaeontological evidence for evolution refers to the ______.
Options
development of embryo
homologous organs
fossils
analogous organs
Solution
Palaeontological evidence for evolution refers to the fossils.
Explanation:
The term "palaeontological evidence" refers to evidence derived from fossils. Fossils are the preserved remnants or traces of species from the distant past, and palaeontology is the study of them. The other answers are incorrect since embryo growth patterns correspond to evolutionary evidence in the embryo. Comparative anatomy and morphology can be demonstrated using homologous and analogous organs.
