Question

The branch of biology that deals with the study of fossil animals are known as
A. Para biology
B. Phylogeny
C. Palaeontology
D. Para zoology

Answer 1

Hint:The study deals with fossils and animals that are present on the earth. So, the name of the study will definitely include the word plant.

Complete answer:
The branch of science that deals with the study of fossils, animals, and plants are called paleontology. The fossils of plants, animals, and other organisms are studied.
The fossils are used for the classification purpose that is based on similarities in structure and predicts the time scale on which time of evolution they are present on the earth.
Paleontology study starts from the Holocene Epoch that is roughly a time 11,700 years before the present.
It also includes the study of the interactions of animals with each other and their environment.
The term paleontology originates from the Greek word palaios means old or ancient and on or ontos which means being or creature and logos means speech or thought or study.

So, here the correct answer is option C. paleontology.

Additional information:
Para biology can be defined as the study of biological paranormal activity.
Phylogeny can be defined as the study of relationships among different groups of organisms and their evolutionary development. Phylogenetic studies try to trace the evolutionary history of all organisms on the planet. This study is based on the phylogenetic hypothesis that hypothesized that all the living organisms that are present on the earth share a common ancestry.

Note: Paleontology is a study that lies on the border between biology and geology. This study differs from archaeology because it excludes the study of anatomically modern humans.
