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.

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.

Brown-eye genes are dominant over blue-eye genes. what is the best explanation for the fact that all the blue-eye alleles have n
Ronch [10]
Dominant genes will come before recessive. Someone with brown-eye and blue-eye genes will have brown eye since it's the dominant one. So sometimes blue -eye allele is hidden because it's not express, but not always.

People with blue eyes must have all blue-eye allele. Therefore, if there are people with blue eyes you can conclude that blue-eye allele has not disappeared in the human population.

If there is no factor that intervenes with population breeding, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium will be maintained and that can be used to explain why the <span>all the blue-eye alleles have not disappeared in the human population</span>
