Romashka-Z-Leto [24]3 years ago
6 0

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.

predict what might happen to a population that is experiencing little immigration and emigration, low birth rate, and high death
bezimeni [28]
The population will later, cease to exist.

Since the population is experiencing (about) the same rates of immigration and emigration, these 2 factors will not change anything.

A low birth rate and a high death rate means that more people are dying than being born.

Therefore the population will decrease until there is nobody and it will cease to exist.
