Scientists who search for fossils often use the term transitional fossil to describe some of their finds. An example of a transitional fossil is Dimetrodon, which lived 280-265 million years ago. Dimetrodon had a lizard-like appearance but had a sail-like structure sticking out from its back that allowed it to regulate its body temperature, an ability that is found today in modern warm-blooded mammals. While Dimetrodon swallowed its prey whole like reptiles do, it also had different types of teeth, a trait also common to mammals. Which of these statements best explains how transitional fossils support the theory of evolution? A. Transitional fossils show traits common to ancestors as well as descendants.

B. Transitional fossils show how the organisms' characteristics remain the same over time.

C. Transitional fossils show how individual organisms can change their characteristics during their lifetimes.

D. Transitional fossils show how populations of past organisms were not able to change their characteristics over time.

Explanation:

answer and explanation;

volcanic rocks are igneous rocks which form from lava, molten rock which has been thrust out of a volcano onto the surface of a rocky body such as an asteroid, planet, or dwarf planet.  

plutonic rocks are igneous rocks which form from subterranean chambers of molten rock or magma. plutonic rocks make up the base of continental crust as well as oceanic crust. their slow rate of formation causes them to be coarse grained since there is plenty of time for large crystals to form before the magma solidifies into rock.

the textural difference is that plutonic rocks are more coarse grained than volcanic rocks. plutonic rocks are coarse grained while volcanic are fine grained ; glassey or fragmental. since fine and coarse are adjectives the decision as to whether a rock is fine or coarse grained is generally made on the bases of whether or not the individual crystals can be seen in most if the rock.
