A group of scientists have completed several investigations to gather evidence from fossils about the Coelacanth. Which of these is the most likely outcome of the investigations? (1 point) Select one: a. the results of the investigation will become non-testable b. the results of the investigation will become non-observable c. a theory about the evolution of the coelacanth will be accepted d. all old theories about the evolution of the coelacanth will be rejected

Respuesta :

The most likely outcome of the investigations about fossils of the Coelacanth is a theory about the evolution of the coelacanth that will be accepted (Option c).

What is the fossil record?

The fossil record is represented by the conserved remains of once living organisms (in this case, Coelacanth fish).

The fossil record is very useful to test evolutionary theories because similarities between species may be associated with a common origin.

The coelacanth is a species of  lobe-finned fish that was erroneously categorized as a living fossil because scientists believed that this species represented an entire taxonomic group that evolved 420 million years ago.

In conclusion, these results may lead to a theory about the evolution of the coelacanth that will be accepted (Option c).
