Well, when a plant or animal dies in a damp environment it will most likely get buried in mud or silt. The tissues over time will decompose and leave bones or shells behind ( depending on what was there originally it can vary) Eventually over time sediment builds up and hardens into rock.
I sincerely hope this helps you ~

The correct answer is:

Mud can prevent oxygen from reaching the dead organism

Explanation:

Fossils are formed in a whole of separate ways, but most are produced when a plant or creature vanishes in a watery atmosphere and is immersed in mud and silt. Soft tissues immediately disintegrate leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time debris builds over the top and solidifies into rock.. and mud prevent the oxygen to reach dead organism.

Which of the following is NOT a requirement for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
aev [14]

Answer:

D. Small population size

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium requires the presence of a large randomly mating population. Small population size makes the population more likely to deviate from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to sampling error or chance events occurring during the genetic drift. Large population size ensures that the population maintains the constant allele frequencies over generations, that is the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
