<span>Mucous membranes provide a mechanical barrier at body openings. They also line the respiratory, GI, urinary, and reproductive tracts. Mucous membranes secrete mucus, a slimy substance that traps pathogens. The membranes also have hair-like cilia.</span>
Out of the following given choice;
F. replaces the animal's soft tissues.
G. enters the animal's body cavity.
H. hardens before the animal decays.
J. mineralizes the animal's bones.
The answer H. This can be caused by hot pyroclastic flows or falling volcanic ash from the atmosphere following a volcanic eruption. The ash buries animals and plants intact without moving them and without completely crushing or burning them. Over time excess silica dissolved in the water often replaces soft bone materials molecule by molecule, creating an almost indestructible fossil (like petrified wood) that lasts for millions of years
The female flowers mature before the male flowers, resulting in self-fertilization being preventing
B.
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that the genetic variation stays constant
