Lividity can be defined as the typical bluish-purple discoloration of the skin after death. Rigor mortis can be defined as the postmortem state in which the muscles become stiff.
- After death, the stomach contains identifiable ingested foods within two hours.
- Rigor mortis is characterized by the stiffening of the body after death, which is caused by the absence of ATP in muscle tissues.
- Postmortem lividity or livor mortis is caused by the accumulation of blood in blood vessels (the lack of arterial pressure) as a result of gravity.
- The most relevant information to determine the time of death is the presence of lividity, rigor mortis, and/or stomach contents (Option c).

Viruses reproduce by inserting their genetic code into the genetic code of a cell, from there, an active virus will copy itself over and over until that cell bursts, where the new viruses can repeat the process. Another type of virus inserts itself into the genetic code, but does not actively reproduce. It sits and waits for the cell to reproduce for it, by splitting in the way cells do.
