∙ 14y agoFossils show us the evolutionary steps life has made in the past until the present day.
When we follow the fossil record back we can begin to understand how life developed and evolved on Earth.
They show us that for example mammals including humans are only very distantly related to dinosaurs for example. They also shows us that birds are more closely related to dinosaurs than say a crocodile.

∙ 9y agoGenetics and the field of Paleontology add to our understanding of evolution because paleontologists discover the fossils while geneticists compare their relationship with living organisms using DNA.

∙ 14y agoThe role of paleontology is to find stuff out according to the fossil records. It is a subject with almost no end because it can expand as time goes by.

How does molecular genetics add to your understanding of genes?
molecular genetics adds to our genes by DNA molecules.
What modern evidence is used to support evolution?
The branches of genetics, paleontology, observed natural selection and speciation all support evolution. Examples: (Genetics) Human chromosome 2 resulted from a fusion of two ancestral chromosomes. (Paleontology) Evolution of the horse. (Natural selection) Observed in Peppered moths. (Speciation) The Hawthorn Fly
What study provides evidence of evolution?
Paleontology, genetics, molecular Biology, taxonomy, evolutionary development and comparative anatomy, just to name a few.
How has genetics helped in our understanding of evolution?
Studying genetics has given us the mechanism by which evolution works, on the most basic level.
What discovery has helped scientist gain a better understanding of human genetics?
DNA
What does not belong to the group paleontology psychology genetics biochemistry?
Psychology as the others are sciences while psychology is an understanding of human nature.
Are modern synthesis of evolution brought together the evidence for evolution and the ideas of genetics?
Yes, the evidence from systematics, paleontology, botany and field biology plus the findings of the founders of population genetics.

DNA
How did Avery help build our understanding of genetics?
He showed that DNA is a Transforming factor.
How did it help build your understanding of genetics?
he showed that cells contain a transforming factor
How has the Scientific theory of evolution developed over the past 300 years?
Before Charles Darwin published his theory in the 1850s, there really was no scientific theory of evolution. Thus the theory is actually only a little over 150 years old. In the 1920s there was a revolution in our understanding of genetics, which was incorporated into the theory of evolution. That was known as "the modern synthesis." Since that time virtually every paper published on genetics, embryology, paleontology, or any other branch of biology has further strengthened the theory.
