- What theory of the origin of life do you think is most possible? Why?arrow_forwardScientists Stanley Miller and Harold Urey set up an experiment modeling the environmental conditions thought to exist during the early stages of Earth's formation. The setup of Miller and Urey's experiment is shown below. Which conclusion about the origin of life could be drawn from the potential results of this experiment? Life assembled from chemical building blocks. Life began when water vapor became electrified. Life evolved from the DNA of simple unicellular organisms. Life began when salt water caused a mutation in an ancient virus.arrow_forwardWhich molecule -DNA or RNA- do scientist believe was found in the first life form on Earth? Why do scientist believe this molecule was first to form life?arrow_forward
- Historically, how has the origin of life on earth been explained?arrow_forwardwhat are the different perspectives of the Origin of Life?arrow_forwardFor a long time, it was believed that life originated from decaying matter. What is this theory known as? Name the scientist who experimentally disproved this theory.arrow_forward
- the landmark experiment by Miller and Urey, and various repeats of this experiment, did not successfully recreate life itself, but why do we consider the results from this experiment as support for the origin of life on Earth?arrow_forwardPresent three possible explanations for the origin of life.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true? A) Life originated around volcanic vents deep in the oceans. B) Life originated in lakes. C) Life originated on meteors.arrow_forward
- What evidence is there for the hypothesis that life originated on Earth by the creation and polymerization of small organic molecules by natural processes?arrow_forwardWhy do many people, even biologists, find it difficult to define life?arrow_forwardOne of the simplest definitions of a life-form is anything with the capacity to reproduce and regulate itself. Before life began, the complex organic, or hydrocarbon-bearing, molecules that makeup RNA and DNA, the building blocks of life, must have formed. No one knows exactly how life is formed from these molecules, but many ideas have been put forward. As you enter this area, go toward the large video screen on the right and explore the “Life at the hydrothermal Vents” label deck. Some scientists theorize that life begins at deep-sea vents. Find three lines of evidence to support this claim.arrow_forward
