PLEASE HELP ASAP!
Vlad [161]

Answer: Maybe if you knew the def's you could answer it.

Initial Decay – Bacteria located mainly in the lower intestine begin decomposition, giving a greenish color to the lower abdomen. Stage 2: Putrefaction – Bacteria grow throughout the body, releasing gases, including cadaverine, which in turn bloat the body and cause unpleasant odor.

putrefaction

the process of decay or rotting in a body or other organic matter.

Black putrefaction occurs, which is when noxious odors are released from the body and the parts of the body undergo a black discoloration. 2 weeks: The abdomen is bloated; internal gas pressure nears maximum capacity. 3 weeks: Tissues have softened. Organs and cavities are bursting.

Fermentation occurring in putrefaction and apparently in the digestion of herbivorous mammals in which butyric acid is produced by certain chiefly anaerobic bacteria acting upon various organic substances (such as lactic acid or butter)

A dry body will not decompose efficiently. Moisture helps the growth of microorganisms that decompose the organic matter, but too much moisture could lead to anaerobic conditions slowing down the decomposition process

shepuryov [24]

Answer AND Explanation:

Darwin describes natural selection as a process whereby nature selects those organisms that have favourable characteristics to be parents of the next generation. The individuals possessing the favourable traits are better suited to the prevailing environmental conditions. This enables them to stand a better chance to survive in the struggle for existence due to limited resources.
