A large proportion of archaeans are extremophiles, so called because they inhabit extreme environments with high acidity, salini

ty, and/or temperature. Such environments are thought to have been much more common on the primitive Earth. Thus, modern extremophiles survive only in places that their ancestors became adapted to long ago. Which of the following is, consequently, a valid statement about modern extremophiles, assuming that their habitats have remained relatively unchanged?A) Among themselves, they should share relatively few ancestral traits, especially those that enabled ancestral forms to adapt to extreme conditions B) On a phylogenetic tree whose branch lengths are proportional to the amount of genetic change, the branches of the extremophiles should be shorter than the non-extremophilic archaeans C) They should contain genes that originated in eukaryotes that are the hosts for numerous species of bacteria D) They should currently be undergoing a high level of horizontal gene transfer with non- extremophilic archaeans

How did the discovery of ribozymes assist in creating a plausible model for the prebiotic origin of life?
aleksley [76]
Ribozymes are biochemically too complex to have ever produced themselves naturalistically. They are an intermediate cellular functioning assembly that cannot survive on its own and they are too restrictive in function to enable metabolism and reproduction at the level of criticality to be considered plausible for life.

Their simplicity relative to RNA and DNA make them an attractive possibility, but they are not strategic enough, robust enough or in any producible using naturalistic processes.
