- Stanley Miller and Harold Urey created an experiment that simulated conditions on early Earth. Building on the results from this experiment, scientists decide to test the effect of varying the initial amount of NH3 on monomer formation. They set up the same simulation with the exception of starting with three different concentrations qf NH3. The amounts of H2 and CH4 are kept constant in each treatment. They run five simulations per NH3 concentration, as well as five simulations that only have H2 and CH4. Why did the scientists run five simulations with no NH3? * To test the hypothesis that early Earth's atmosphere contained no NH3. This serves as the control group. To test the effect that H2 and CH4 have on monomer formation. NH3 is a controlled variable. Caheele y Bleg PRIVACY POLICY | Terms of Usearrow_forward5. Frederick Griffith observed that an unknown but heritable substance could move from a dead population of deadly bacteria to a live population of harmless bacteria, making the live population deadly. Oswald Avery and his colleagues later showed that the mysterious "transforming principle" was DNA. a) Explain how the phenomenon that Griffith observed can lead to rapid evolution in bacteria populations. b) Discuss how the transformation process Griffith observed, under controlled conditions, can be used in the arena of genetic engineering.arrow_forwardWhy was the development of enzymes fundamental to the evolution of life? a) without enzymes, the activation energy for essential reactions was too low b) enzymes allowed for high rate of catalysis at relatively low temperatures c) enzymes reduced the cellular demand for ATP d) enzymes allowed for reactions to occur spontaneouslyarrow_forward

- Cat DNA is much more similar to dog DNA than to tortoise DNA. Why? (a) Cats and dogs are both carnivores and take in similar nutrients. (b) Cats and dogs have lived together with humans for a long period of time, so they have grown more similar. (c) Cats and dogs have more offspring during their lifetime than tortoises have, so their DNA changes less rapidly. (d) Cats and dogs have a common ancestor that is more recent than the common ancestor of cats and tortoises.arrow_forward29 Which kind of macromolecule is regarded as a good candidate for the original self-replicator (or genetic molecule) because it can both cause dehydration synthesis and encode information efficiently? a) Neurotransmitter b) DNA c) Hormones d) Proteins e) RNAarrow_forward95.
