Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What do fossils provide evidence for?

  1. That life on Earth has changed over millions of years
  2. That the Earth is approximately 6000 years old
  3. That all organisms were created at the same time
  4. That organisms today are identical to those in the past
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: AThat life on Earth has changed over millions of years
Fossils show us the remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past, demonstrating that life has changed over geological time — this is direct evidence for evolution. Option A is incorrect because fossils often show organisms very different from modern species. Option C contradicts the fossil record, which shows organisms appearing at different points in time. Option D is not supported by fossil or geological evidence.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A scientist finds a fossil in a rock layer below another fossil. What can the scientist conclude about the two fossils?

  1. The deeper fossil is from a more complex organism
  2. The deeper fossil belonged to a larger organism
  3. The deeper fossil is from an organism that lived more recently
  4. The deeper fossil is from an organism that lived longer ago
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DThe deeper fossil is from an organism that lived longer ago
In undisturbed rock strata, deeper layers are older because sediment accumulates over time with newer layers on top — so a fossil found deeper was buried earlier and is therefore older. Option B is the direct opposite of the correct principle of stratigraphy. Options A and D make assumptions about complexity and size that cannot be determined from rock layer position alone.

AQA GCSE Biology: Evidence for evolution: fossils, antibiotic resistance and speciation FAQ

How many AQA GCSE Biology questions on Evidence for evolution: fossils, antibiotic resistance and speciation are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Evidence for evolution: fossils, antibiotic resistance and speciation for AQA GCSE Biology, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real AQA paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Biology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Evidence for evolution: fossils, antibiotic resistance and speciation practice with other Biology topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Evidence for evolution: fossils, antibiotic resistance and speciation questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Biology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Evidence for evolution: fossils, antibiotic resistance and speciation typically tested on AQA GCSE Biology papers?
Evidence for evolution: fossils, antibiotic resistance and speciation appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Biology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
