What is a fossil?
- A living organism found deep underground
- A type of rock formed by volcanic activity
- The preserved remains or traces of an organism from long ago
- A newly discovered species
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — The preserved remains or traces of an organism from long ago
Award 1 mark. Fossils can be bones, shells, footprints or impressions in rock, and they record organisms that lived thousands to millions of years ago. A living organism underground is not preserved remains, volcanic rock rarely preserves anything, and a newly discovered species may well be alive today.

WJEC GCSE Biology: Evolution and Natural Selection FAQ
Is Kramizo free for WJEC 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 Evolution and Natural Selection practice with other Biology topics or even switch to a totally different WJEC 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 Evolution and Natural Selection questions aligned to the official WJEC GCSE Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published WJEC 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 WJEC 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 WJEC.
How is Evolution and Natural Selection typically tested on WJEC GCSE Biology papers?
Evolution and Natural Selection appears across multiple question types on real WJEC 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.
