10. We do not have a full fossil record - sometimes there are gaps and it is unclear exactly how certain species evolved. Which of these is NOT a reason for gaps in the fossil record? Soft-bodied organisms don't tend to form fossils Geological activity destroyed fossils over time Fossils over a million years old decay and break down The conditions for fossilization are rare so most organisms do not leave fossil

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Fossils over a million years old decay and break down.Explanation: The statement that fossils over a million years old decay and break down is not a reason for gaps in the fossil record. Fossils can be millions of years old and still be preserved, although the process of fossilization is indeed rare. The other options provided are valid reasons for gaps in the fossil record. Soft-bodied organisms don't tend to form fossils because they lack hard parts that can be preserved. Geological activity, such as erosion and plate tectonics, can destroy fossils over time. The conditions for fossilization are indeed rare, so most organisms do not leave fossils.
