The choices are:

A) Fossils are preserved in the rocks formed from the sediments deposited by rivers.

B)The bodies of organisms get preserved due to the dry weather conditions in the state.

C)The bodies of the organisms were preserved as lava from ancient volcanoes solidified into rock.

D) The erosion caused by the flooding of the Mississippi River ensures that the bodies of the organisms are well preserved.

Answer:

The answer is letter A, Fossils are preserved in the rocks formed from the sediments deposited by rivers.

Explanation:

"Fossils" are regarded as the<em> organism's preserved remains. </em>The remains of ancient organisms are embedded into the "sedimentary rocks." These rocks are comprised of layers of sediments or organic particles that settle into the earth or ocean.

In the situation above, the remains or fossils of whales and other organisms were embedded or deposited into the sediments in the river beds. This explains why their fossils were found in the southern parts of Mississippi.

Which of these is an environmental effect of deforesation?
Nata [24]
"Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)"
The conversion of forests into agricultural plantations is a major cause of deforestation. The increase in global demand for commodities, such as palm oil and soybeans, are driving industrial-scale producers to clear forests at an alarming rate. Indonesia, the largest producer of palm oil, was named the “Fastest Forest Destroyer,” in the 2008 Guinness World Records. Even when efforts are made to replenish barren plantations, the depleted soil is not able to produce the same biodiversity it once was."
Forest clearing for livestock ranching is another contributor of deforestation. Since 1990, Brazil, a top exporter of beef, has lost an area of forest that is three-fourths the size of Texas. A strong global demand for beef, supported by governments such as in Brazil, is expanding this kind of deforestation.

In the snail cepaea nemoralis, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell, u, is recessive to the allele for an unbanded shell,
Alex Ar [27]
There will be no recombinant progeny in absolute linkage. The F1 inherted banded and yellow alleles (BBCY) together on one chromosome from the banded yellow parent and unbanded and brown allels (BOCBw) together on the homologous chromosome from the unbanded parent. All the F1 gametes will contain only these two allelic combinations, in equal proportions if there is no recombination. F2 cross progeny will have 1/2 banded, that is yellow and 1/2 unbanded brown.
