Solution

Five general stages are used to describe the process of decomposition in vertebrate animals are
  • fresh
  • bloat
  • active decay
  • advanced decay
  • dry/remains
The general stages of decomposition are coupled with two stages of chemical decomposition: autolysis and putrefaction. These two stages contribute to the chemical process of decomposition, which breaks down the main components of the body. With death, the microbiome of the living organism collapses and is followed by the necrobiome that undergoes predictable changes over time.
