Question

Choose the stage that best matches the description given.

Answer 1

In order for an organism to decompose to the point that only dry bones will remain, it is estimated that in warm and humid environments the process will take roughly three weeks, In which case the options of Days 26-43 as well as after day 50 are correct.

Decomposition is what happens to any dead organic material. Decomposition is when the organic material is broken down into smaller compounds, organic or not. This process is affected by a variety of conditions including:

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Presence and species of insects
• Elements to which the material is exposed

and so on. Each of these factors can greatly impact how fast something will decompose.

The question at hand gives us the conditions for the fastest decomposition, given that this process is accelerated in warm and humid conditions. When in these conditions, it is estimated that an organism can take a minimum of three weeks to reach the stage in which all that is left is the skeleton (dry bones).

Three weeks consists of 21 days, however, option 6 that states "Days 18-25" is not being included given that during days 18-21, elements other than bones may still be present. For this reason, the correct answer is any day after day 21, that is, days 22-50+. Therefore, options 5 and 3 can both be considered correct as in those days only dry bones will remain.
