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.

What is the scientific name for missing link?
There is no specific scientific name for the concept of the "missing link" in human evolution. It is a colloquial term that has been used in the past to describe hypothetical transitional forms in the evolutionary lineage of humans. Scientists now understand that evolution is a complex and continuous process with many transitional forms, rather than a single missing link.
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.
Did Darwin predict that the middle intermediate stages of evolutionary development would be found in transitional fossils?
Yes, Charles Darwin predicted that transitional fossils would provide evidence of the intermediate stages of evolutionary development. In his work, he emphasized the importance of finding fossils that illustrate gradual changes between species. He believed that these transitional forms would help demonstrate the process of natural selection and the gradual evolution of species over time. However, while many transitional fossils have been found since then, gaps still exist in the fossil record.
What is a piece of evidence for evolution?
One piece of evidence for evolution is the fossil record, which shows a pattern of life forms changing over time. Fossils of transitional species provide a record of intermediate forms between different groups of organisms.
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.

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?
Transitional epithelium forms the lining of the bladder. These cells are able to change shape, allowing the bladder to stretch as it fills with urine and then return to its original shape as the urine is voided.
What types of tissue forms the walls of ureter?
transitional epithelium
True or false magma forms in the lithosphere?
False. It forms in the Athenosphere!!
Where in the fossil record can you find fossils of the oldest life forms?
The fossils of the oldest life forms can be found in the Precambrian period of the fossil record.
What tissue forms a wall of capillaries and air sacs of lungs?
Transitional arms
