Because it never lived... Its not a living thing

The correct answer is "Because it never lived ".

The reason why we consider water as abiotic because it never had life. We term a molecule/compound as biotic only when it is resulted from a living thing. Water has always existed in nature even when there was no life on this earth. So, it simply means that it didn't result from living beings. Water is considered as the non living part of the environment. Also, second option is partially correct because like begets like. But, the first living cell was also evolved from non living components of earth which is an exception to the second statement. So, the most appropriate answer to this question is option 4th "it never lived".

Answer:

B There will be blue colonies only

Explanation:

This screen in called the blue white screening.  This is a rapid test that allows scientist to check for their insert of choice in the colonies at a glance. The concept is that where the insert is located the <em>lac Z </em>gene in the vector is interrupted and therefor Xgal, a reporter can be produced. Where there are blue colonies being formed the plasmid has self-ligated and the <em>lac Z</em> gene is not interrupted and the X-gal can be formed rendering a blue color.
