  2. Three billion years ago
  3. Three hundred thousand years ago
  4. Three million years ago
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Three billion years ago
Award 1 mark. The accepted estimate is that life began as simple organisms around three billion years ago. Sixty-five million years ago is roughly when the non-bird dinosaurs became extinct, and three hundred thousand years is closer to the age of our own species.

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

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.
