What are transitional forms?
Fossils or organisms that show the intermediate states between an ancestral form and that of its descendants are referred to as transitional forms. There are numerous examples of transitional forms in the fossil record, providing an abundance of evidence for change over time.
Why does a lack of transitional forms a pose problems for the evolutionary hypothesis?
A lack of transitional forms would have suggested some flaw in the fundamentals of evolutionary theory. At least, we would have expected some transitional forms to be found, if either gradualism or punctuated equilibrium was the correct model for evolution. As it is, more than enough transitional forms have been found to date to satisfy any objective observer.
What geological period has fossils of the most primitive life forms?
20,000 b.c.
How does the study of fossils represent the evolution of species over geological time?
The study of fossils represent the evolution of species by the time period between when they became fossils and what the ancestory line is
Charles Darwin viewed the fossil record as?
Darwin predicted that the fossil record would either prove or falsify his theory. Darwin realized the difficulty the fossil record (missing links) gave his theory when he said, "Why, if species have descended from other species by fine graduation, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?" Today, top evolutionists know that Darwin's predictions of what the fossil record would reveal have failed.

Have any transitional forms been found?
Numerous transitional forms have so far been found. In the clade of apes alone, the number of intermediate fossils is large enough to allow for a near-complete understanding of the evolutionary history of Man and the other apes.

Are there any missing links?
" Missing link " is a misnomer coined by ignorant journalists who know nothing about evolutionary processes. All organisms are transitional and there are no links because evolutionary processes are not linear, but more bush like in appearance. We have common ancestors, not linked-in-a-line ancestors
What kind of epithelial tissue forms the lining of the bladder peculiar cells that have the ability to slide over each other?
Transitinal (i got same packet)
What types of tissue forms the walls of ureter?
transitional epithelium
What tissue forms the inner lining of the urinary bladder?
transitional epithelium
What forms stretchy ligaments?
That would be transitional epithelium. Transitional Epithelium is specialized to change in response to increased tension. It forms the inner lining of the urinary bladder and lines the ureters, and part of the urethra. It protects and has distensibility.
True or false magma forms in the lithosphere?
False. It forms in the Athenosphere!!
One kind of fossil forms from the body parts of organisms. What is another kind of fossil?
There are four types of fossils that can be found. These are true fossils, mold fossils, trace fossils and cast fossils.
What tissue forms a wall of capillaries and air sacs of lungs?
Transitional arms
What type of epithelial tissue forms the mucosa layer of the urinary bladder?
transitional
