Question

How might an entire insect be preserved?

Soft and hard tissues turn the insect into rock.
Tree sap flows over the insect and hardens.
Sediment accumulates over the insect and hardens.
Carbon from the decaying insect leaves a print on a rock.

Answer 1

Tree sap flows over the insect and hardens

Answer 2

The correct answer is "Tree sap flows over the insect and hardens".

Step-by-step explanation:

The tree sap, amber in color, flows over the insects and preserves them, conserving them in such a way that part of their cellular structure and even fragments of their DNA can be found intact. The resin, draining over the bark of trunks and branches, managed to trap insects as it hardened over time, becoming amber. The hardened amber stone can preserve the softest parts of any insect, keeping it completely intact over time.

Have a nice day!
