Which of the following would most likely become fossilized? an invertebrate buried in sand. a vertebrate buried in mud. justify your response in two or more complete sentences.

The correct answer is - A vertebrate buried in mud.

A vertebrate that has been buried in mud has relatively high chances of being fossilized and preserved, and that is because of two reasons.

The first reason is that the vertebrates have bone structure, and the bones are very hard to dispose, especially if the conditions are right. And even if they do dispose after some time, they will live a print behind them.

The second reason is the mud. The mud will cover all of the vertebrate. Slow down the decomposition, and when the decomposition is over, the bones will be in a place that can protect them from the outside influences, thus preserving them for a very long period of time.

events in order:

1.       vishnu schist

2. zoroaster granite

3. bass limestone

4. hakatar   shale

5. igneous intrusion

6. shinumo quartzite

7. dox sandstone

8. tapeats limestone

9. bright angel shale

10. muav limestone

11. temple butte limestone

12. redwall limestone  

nonconformity

answer: the unkar group shows angular unconformity because the layers are turned at angle.

unconformity

answer: specifically the angular unconformity occurs between the cambrian and precambrian rocks. the dox sandstone, shinumo quartzite, hakatar shale, and bass limestone have been filled. an angular unconformity occurs between the cambrian and precambrian rocks. the dox sandstone, shinumo quartzite, hakatar shale, and bass limestone have been filled.

disconformity

answer: the disconformities aremarked irregular lines between the sedimentaryrocks layers.

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.
