When scientists uncover a fossil, they record the precise location where the fossil was found. Does this location provide useful evidence for conclusions about the fossil and evolutionary processes?

A. Yes. Patterns in the distributions of fossils and living species are useful evidence of evolution.

B. No. Evidence for evolution comes only from body structures, not the environment of organisms.

C. Yes. Evolution occurs only in certain locations on Earth, and not others. D. No. Fossils and living species are distributed evenly across all of Earth's land and water.

A. Yes. Patterns in the distributions of fossils and living species are useful evidence of evolution.

A. Yes. Patterns in the distributions of fossils and living species are useful evidence of evolution.

Explanation:

Data shows that presence or the absence of the continents and the islands provides evidence of the descent and shows us the specification of species. As the same species would be found in the same habitats that are capable of supporting a particular species in a geographical area as Africa or South America. Evidence have also been found in Australia that has marsupials like the kangaroos and quills that were not present in Africa and in small numbers in south America. Similarly, the fossils are found in areas know adjacent to each other and through the process of the continental drift, they diverged in wide geographical areas.
