In your own words, explain how fossil records of the past are reliable sources of information about evolution of life on earth.

Fossils are the preserved remains, impression or traces of plants or animals that lived in the geologic past. Specimen more than 10,000 years old is usually considered as a fossil.

These fossils evidence can tell about the evolution of life as:

1. They show the existence of life in past as the oldest fossils are around 3.48 billion years.

2. They show how different life forms are related to each other.

3. Oldest rocks comprise of the fossils of the simplest organisms while complex organisms fossils are present in the newest rocks supporting the Darwinian view of evolution that complex organisms have evolved from the simple organism.

Thus, studies of fossils can tell about the evolution of life on Earth.

some fungi obtain their nutrients from a living host (plant or animal) and are called most biotrophic fungi have fairly narrow host ranges—they are specialized on a limited called rhizomorphs that allow the fungus to grow from one tree to another. ascospores are formed inside a sac-like structure called an ascus. so your answer is a
