Fossil records can be studied to determine how organisms change over time. which of the following methods for studying organisms could least likely be accomplished by studying the fossil record?

Comparing sleep patterns of organisms

Explanation:

Fossils can be described as the imprints of the dead plants and animals which once were present on the Earth. Fossil records have helped the scientists to learn the history of the Earth and the organisms which once constituted the earth. Fossil records have helped us to understand the evolutionary relationships that might be present among members of different species.

However, by fossil remains, we cannot determine the sleeping patterns of an organism.  

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
