1. Discuss how the study of fossils provides strong evidence for evolution. (13.2 and 13.3)

in fossils we see homologous structures that suggest a common ancestor.

By looking at the bones of the arms and comparative anatomy we see the similar structure and function that is retained.

When looking at other animals like birds we see Analogous structures that look similar but have a different function (flying).

Finally we see Vestigial structures which are structure that no longer function as they once were used for. An example of this is the coccyx (tail bone in humans) compared to tails in dogs, cats, monkeys, etc.

Explanation:

answer;

c. a tree whose roots are surrounded by wet sand.

explanation;

water stress is an important factor limiting the growth and productivity of forests.water stress is the most often cited cause of poor survival and growth of woody landscape plants.

-insufficient soil moisture is the most common form of water stress, but excess moisture that leads to poor soil aeration (hypoxia) can also result in reduced plant vitality. a tree whose roots are surrounded by wet sand would be least likely to experience water stress.

the statements that apply here about binary star system are

"have stars that might appear to wobble"

"often have one star that is brighter than other"

a binary star is a star system consisting of two stars revolving around their common barycenter. systems of two or more stars are called multiple star systems.
