question 10 of 10
what is a fossil?
a. the remains of a dead organism
b. a code found in dna
c. a different type of an atom
d. an earlier form of an animal

Explanation:

A fossil is defined as the preserved remains or traces of a once - living organism. Option B refers to genetic code in DNA, which is not a fossil. Option C describes an isotope (a different type of an atom), not a fossil. Option D is incorrect as a fossil is the physical remains, not just an "earlier form" conceptually. So, the correct answer is A.

Answer:

A. The remains of a dead organism
