“Fossils are related to evolution”, justify this statement. Give the two ways by which age of the fossils can be estimated?
Answer:
Preserved traces of living organisms are called fossils.
Two ways of determining age of fossils are:

  1. Relative—fossils closer to the surface are more recent.
  2. Dating—finding the ratio of different isotopes of the same element.
