Question

A scientist has discovered a new type of animal in the tundra area near the north pole. Write a paragraph describing the type of evidence the scientist might use to classify the animal by its evolutionary history. Use the terms in the box in your paragraph. Underline each term in your answer.DNA, common ancestor, physical evidence, fossil.

Answer 1

The new type of animal can be classified using different methods. For example, a DNA sample can be taken and sequenced to compare it with the closest common ancerstor which has that gene. Also, fossils can be used as physical evidence of simmilarities between the animal discoverd morphology and other related ones.
