In order for a dead organisms remains to become fossilized certain conditions must be met. summarize three of these conditions.

The organism generally must have hard parts such as shell, bone, teeth, or wood tissue; the remains must escape destruction after death; and the remains must be buried rapidly to stop decomposition. This does make the fossil record biased because animals with soft bodies are less likely to form fossils. It also means that particular environments will not help fossils form because the remains must be buried rapidly and escape the detection of scavengers.
4. Describe three different methods of fossilization.
Organisms can be buried and preserved in substances such as frozen soil, volcanic ash, sediment, ice, oil, and amber. This process preserves even the soft parts. Hard parts such as shells, teeth, bones, and wood can also be more easily preserved because they resist weathering. Hard parts can also become altered due to carbonization (leaves only a thin film of carbonaceous material), petrifaction (gets replaced by minerals in water turning it to stone), and replacement (hard parts dissolve and get replaced by calcite, silica, dolomite, and iron compounds)

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
