Why would an animal or plant that is trapped in amber or tar pits or frozen preserve?
Coouuggeerr
Freezing organisms can help preserve them because if it is frozen, then bacteria can't eat it. Scientists have also found animals that have been preserved through freezing. Insects can be preserved in amber because before it hardens, it is a sticky substance where the insects can get stuck in. So, insects found in amber are usually perfectly preserved. The unfortunate animals that were preserved in the tar was the cause of going to drink water. As that animal gets stuck, another would try to go and eat it which ends up with both animals getting preserved in the tar. (ha,ha)

What is a fossil in amber called?
Amber is itself a fossil: it is tree resin, from various types of tree, and originally soft, which has become fossilized over millions of years. Amber occasionally contains marine microfossils, and is probably best-known for sometimes containing animals and plants which were trapped in the resin, which preserved them as it hardened around them. These creatures and plant material aren't true fossils, but certainly add to the mystique and attractiveness of Amber. Below are links to the Dead Bug in Amber Club and to the American Museum of Natural History, both of which address your subject of interest admirably. Amber is most commonly found in the well-known golden-brown transparent form, but also occurs in other colours such as red, blue and green. There are many examples of the use of amber; the third link below contains photographs of the nearly indescribable Amber Room in the Catherine Palace at Tsarskoe Selo, near St Petersburg, a town which celebrates its tercentenary - three hundredth year - this year. Wikipedia has more photos (under Amber Room) which are perhaps more spectacular than those at the Tsarskoe Selo website.

Why is UAG codon called amber codon?
The UAG codon is a special kind of codon called a stop codon. There are three types of stop codons: amber, ochre, and opal. UAG is an mRNA codon that is specific for the amber stop codon. The amber codon was named after Harris Bernstein, then a Caltech graduate student, whose last name means "amber" in German. The related link points to an article that discusses the history a bit more.
Which fossil can preserve a whole animal?
The fossil that can preserve a whole animal is called a complete or articulated fossil. It occurs when the entire organism is preserved with all its anatomical parts intact, often due to quick burial in sediments that prevent decomposition or disintegration. Examples of complete fossils include the exceptional preservation of insects trapped in amber or well-preserved dinosaur fossils.
