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. :)

What happens to the abundance of angiosperm and gymnosperm pollen fossils at the kt boundary?
dimaraw [331]
The KT boundary marks a mass extinction event. the KT boundary is the time between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. An asteroid hit the earth at the end of the Cretaceous and that caused the end of the Cretaceous period. Before the KT boundary, pollen from angiosperms and gymnosperms is high. After the meteor hits the earth, a mass extinction occurs and the amount of pollen from gymnosperms and angiosperms decreases dramatically, while the amount of spores from ferns increases. During the Cretaceous period there were many species of gymnosperms and angiosperms but they disappeared at the KT boundary, when the asteroid hit the earth.

Explain why two albino parents will not have any children with normal skin and hair color.
Morgarella [4.7K]

If they are both albino there is no chance for them to have any other skin color because it is not in their genes. The phenotype gene is always going to be albino.
