Answer:

The answer is A) a living thing dies and sediment is very slowly deposited on top of its body.

Explanation:

The formation of a fossil depends a lot on the chemical composition of the organism that has died. Generally, the hard materials of an organism such as bones tend to have a greater amount of minerals within their composition, which facilitates the formation of a fossil. In order for a fossil to form, it is necessary that all the soft tissues of the organism have disappeared and sedimentation of the organism occurs, which prevents decomposition. This fossilization process occurs in thousands of years.

It would be A, because a fossil forms after an animal dies, and hundreds to thousands of years of soil or sediment coversit's body, preserving it. :)

Answer:

Wasps only use the caterpillars when producing offspring which kills the caterpillars.

Explanation:

'True parasites' are generally defined as organisms which live off 'host' organisms of another species at the expense of that organism by harming them in some way. They do this in a variety of ways for different reasons, the most common ones being as a source of food or favorable living conditions. Their lives are almost always entirely dependent on their host. Conventional parasites also usually don't kill their hosts as it is in their best interest that their host stays alive for them to gain the most advantage from them.

Wasps do not fit the true definition of a parasite because:

1. They don't rely on living off the caterpillars to live normally. Wasps are able to find their own sources of food and live on their own without other species. It is only when reproducing that they use and harm the caterpillars.

2. This process kills the caterpillars as the wasp larvae eat them when they emerge and grow which is unconventional for parasites.

It is because of these exceptions that these wasps are classified as 'parasitoids' and not conventional parasites.

Note: Wasps like these have been introduced many times because of this symbiotic relationship they have to help control caterpillar populations.

Hope this helped!

Fahrenholz's rule is supported when: comparison of phylogenies for host and parasite show a correlated pattern of evolution

<h3>What is Fahrenholz's rule ?</h3>

The close correspondence is observed between the taxonomy of parasites and their hosts and this has led to Fahrenholz's rule. This rule postulates that parasites and the hosts speciate in synchrony.

This leads to a prediction that phylogenetic trees of parasites and their hosts are topologically identical.

when the only events in the process of reciprocal natural selection in the host and parasite lineages were those of contemporaneous speciation in both the lineages then host and parasite phylogenies are fully congruent, hence supporting Fahrenholz'srule.
