Question

fossils provide scientists with evidence that allows them to hypothesize how living organisms have evolved over time. tiktaalik roseae was a unique organism that has been nicknamed the \fishapod\ because it is believed to be a species had traits of both fish and tetrapods, the first four - legged animals. which evidence would scientist use to make the connection between ancestry of fish and tetrapods using tiktaalik roseae? using transitional forms using relative dating studying decreasing complexity studying analogous structures

Explanation:

Tiktaalik is a transitional fossil with traits of both fish (e.g., fins, aquatic features) and tetrapods (e.g., limb bones, neck structure). Transitional forms show intermediate characteristics linking ancestral and descendant groups, so this evidence connects fish and tetrapod ancestry. Relative dating determines age order but doesn’t directly link traits; decreasing complexity isn’t relevant here; analogous structures are similar due to function, not ancestry.

Answer:

using transitional forms
