The controversy surrounding the nucleic acids and proteins, regarding which one of them was formed first is the most popular controversy in the biology world today. The nucleic acids stores and the genetic information. The proteins essential for all the life processes are encoded by the genes formed of the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). But proteins (enzymes) are required for the formation of proteins from the genes. The inter-dependency of the nucleic acids and proteins on each other possesses a dilemma to the question 'which of them arrived first'.
The answer to this dilemma was answered when it was discovered that RNA was capable of not only carrying the genetic information, but also acting as catalyst to the chemical reaction. This finding supported the notion that the RNA evolved first serving the purpose of both the nucleic acids and emzymes.
Answer : Binary Fission which grows exponentially.
Explanation : Binary fission actually means binary - consisting two and fission - cleavage into halves. It is one of the modes of asexual reproduction.
This type of fission is majorly observed in the asexual reproduction in prokaryotes. It is rarely seen in some some single-celled Eukaryotes like Amoeba and Paramecium.
Also, In binary fission there is DNA replication and segregation which occurs simultaneously.
This increases the graph exponentially as the growth gets faster and faster with the passing period of time.
A reference image of binary fission is attached in the answer.
Answer:
She is in the same place as she started. But she did move 28 units in total.
