Explanation:
Fossil fuels are important energy sources for our every day activities.
Formation of fossil fuels
Fossil fuels forms from the accumulation and burial of organisms in a basin of deposition. Instead of the organisms decaying, they preserve their carbon content. To be worthy of becoming fossil fuels, organisms must be buried in an environment where there is little to no oxygen to fast-track decomposition of the buried organic matter. Increase in temperature and pressure causes the organic matter to transform into fossil fuels.
How are they obtained
First, different fossil fuels have their extraction techniques because they occur in different physical state of matter.
For the solids e.g coal: exploration is carried out first and if a prospect is delineated, mining engineers design the best way to extract the coal from nature. Coal is usually found laid in sedimentary beds in nature. Top layers of sediments can be removed to extract the coal.
For fluids such as crude oil and natural gas, after a prospect is identified, a rig is usually constructed to extract the fluid and gas. The natural pressure allows for the fluids the rise within the drill used in extraction.
How are they used
Coal and gas are used to power electrical generating plants. They are used to heat steams which drives turbines and produce electricity.
Natural gas is used as a domestic fuel for cooking and so also coal.
When crude is processed a lot of product is obtained. Gasoline is used to power most internal combustion engines. Some chemicals useful for manufacturing plastics, drugs e.t.c are also derived from the processed crude.

Mammals is the type of organism that least naturally
reproduced by cloning. Mammals reproduced by Sexual reproduction typically
requires the sexual interaction of two specialized organisms, called gametes,
which contain half the number of chromosomes of normal cells and are made by
meiosis, which usually a male fertilizing a female.
Answer:
Mitosis, Meiosis, and both are written below
Explanation:
Mitosis: produces more somatic (body) cells, purpose is for healing and growing, the daughter cells are exact replicas
- This is because mitosis occurs in body cells and is used for growth, so all the daughter cells are the same.
Meiosis: results in sex cells (gametes), results in eggs and sperm, purpose is for creating new individuals (eventually), each daughter cell is different, has 2 separate division stages
- This is because meiosis occurs in gametes and is used in reproduction.
Both: Chromosomes need to replicate before the whole process begins, a form of reproduction
- This is because both are reproducing (they are dividing) and DNA must be replicated so each daughter cell has it.
