Taphonomy is the study of the process of fossilization, from the death of the organism to the moment of the fossil's discovery and everything in between. Fossilization is the process by which a plant or animal becomes a fossil, the process is extremely rare and only a small fraction of the plants and animals that have lived in the past 600 million years are preserved as fossils. Taphonomy entails the study of what happens in plants and animals after they die, including the processes of decay and fossilization.

Answer:

The taphonomy tries to explain all the events that affected an organism from the past, from the time the individual died until their fossils are found in the stratigraphic record.

Therefore, the results are investigated, in this case the fossils and their state of conservation, to be able to postulate and verify the processes and the agents involved, over time, in the formation of a deposit.

When is cladistics more useful than linnaean taxonomy
katrin [286]

Answer:

D. When you are analyzing DNA of organisms

Cladistics is focused on tracing common ancestors, which relies not only on physical characteristics but also DNA evidences. Cladistics is also known as modern taxonomy. Linnean taxonomy is more on the physical characteristics, which is also called traditional taxonomy. As technology progressed so did taxanomic categories, which allowed researchers to compare DNA to determine similarities in seemingly unrelated animals.
