BIO 250 FINAL EXAM VERIFIED ANSWERS 100%2023/2024 What are the three major weaknesses/ biases in the fossil record? - correct answer Geographic bias: erosion to the fossil record because of the elements -Older fossils in older earth layers have had more time for geography to change. I.e. under water or subduction Taxonomic bias: taxonomic groups with no bones or shell to form a fossil -Some groups don't fossilize well (e.g. worms) Temporal bias: things that lived a long time ago are ...
