What experimental evidence is there for the origin of life hypotheses?

"The earliest evidence of life on Earth comes from fossils discovered in Western Australia that date back to about 3.5 billion years ago. These fossils are of structures known as stromatolites, which are, in many cases, formed by the growth of layer upon layer of single-celled microbes, such as cyanobacteria. (Stromatolites are also made by present-day microbes, not just prehistoric ones.)

The earliest fossils of microbes themselves, rather than just their by-products, preserve the remains of what scientists think are sulfur-metabolizing bacteria. The fossils also come from Australia and date to about 3.4 billion years ago

Bacteria are relatively complex, suggesting that life probably began a good deal earlier than 3.5 billion years ago. However, the lack of earlier fossil evidence makes pinpointing the time of life’s origin difficult (if not impossible)."

During coastal upwelling, nutrient-rich water rises from the ocean floor to the surface to replace water that has been blown awa

Firdavs [7]

Answer: A. Increase in temperature

Coastal upwelling is the process in which the deep water rises above the top most water level as the wind pushes water offshore. Nutrients which are present in the bottom layer get available to organisms living in the uppermost layer. The deeper water lacks oxygen because the decomposition of organic matter at the bottom of the water body consumes up available oxygen. Also, because of these water layer turnover will result in thermocline: temperature variation among the layers of water. Bottom layer water because of such decomposition processes will have more temperature when this water rises in the upper layer due to upwelling this will increase the temperature of the upper layer.

Scientists are able to reproduce certain plants and animals by cloning them in laboratories. The diagram shows the steps of clon

rewona [7]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, cloning is a form of asexual reproduction because there is no fusion of sperm and eggs takes place. the animal which is formed from this process is identical of that organism because it is produced from the tissue of that single animal. in 1996, first mammal is produced from cloning was sheep named dolly at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. In cloning, the egg is taken from female organism and remove the nucleus from the egg then the desired organism cell is taken and fuse with the nucleus with the help of electricity. Then implant this embryo in the body of first organism from where egg is taken and after that the embryo turns into a baby, this process is called cloning.

<span>In Mary's case, the abducens is affected/ The abducens is a motor neuron that is responsible for innervating the lateral rectus muscle, this helps the pull the eye in a lateral direction. In Mary's case, only the right branch of this is affected so when she looks right the eye is simply not able to rotate laterally and she has double vision. The medial rectus muscle that is found in the right eye is responsible for pulling the eye so that she can look left. The oculomotor nerve is in charge of innervating this particular muscle and when it comes to mary's case, her cranial nerve III is not affected.</span>

Reika [66]

Answer;

Two organisms that are placed on distantly spaced twigs on a phylogenetic tree are distantly related. They don't share the most recent common ancestor.

Explanation;

A phylogenetic tree is a diagram that describes the evolutionary relationships among carious species, based on the information available to and gathered by systematists. Should be viewed as hypotheses.

-The pattern of branching in a phylogenetic tree reflects how species or other groups evolved from a series of common ancestors. In trees, two species are more related if they have a more recent common ancestor and less related if they have a less recent common ancestor.
