Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu.
the images show fossils of a modern bird and two extinct organisms (a tyrannosaurus rex and an archaeopteryx). based on the structure of
the three organisms, it can be concluded that they share a common ancestor the archaeopteryx and bird have wings, while
dinosaurs have limbs. so, it can be concluded that
options:
that archaeopteryx evolved from birds
that archaeopteryx came after dinosaurs but before birds
that archaeopteryx evolved before non - flying dinosaurs
(images: bird, tyrannosaurus rex, archaeopteryx fossils)

Explanation:

Archaeopteryx is a transitional fossil with both dinosaur-like skeletal features and bird-like wings, placing it evolutionarily after nonflying dinosaurs (like T. rex) but before modern birds. It did not evolve from birds, nor did it come before nonflying dinosaurs.

Answer:

the Archaeopteryx came after dinosaurs but before birds
