Why might fossils provide a biased view of the evolution of life?  

Arctic foxes (a mammal species) and willow ptarmigans (a bird species) are both brown in summer and white in winter (it helps both species blend in with their environment: the rocks/soil/ground in summer and the snow in winter). The common ancestor of all birds did not become white in winter and neither did the common ancestor of all mammals. What type of trait is ‘seasonal white coloration’ for arctic foxes and willow ptarmigans?

A generalized life cycle for alternation of generations is shown below, with a few structures filled in for you. You will label the rest of the structures, the number of sets of chromosomes for some structures, and the names of processes leading from one structure to the next. For the numbers of sets of chromosomes, you may use symbols or terms. 1) Chromosomes: [chromosomes1]    5) Chromosomes: [chromosomes5] 2) Process: [process2]                          6) Process: [process6] 3) Structure: [structure3]                     7) Structure: [structure7] 4) Chromosomes: [chromosomes4]    8) Chromosomes: [chromosomes8]
