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.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of blood that flows through our bodies: oxygenated and deoxygenated. Oxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the left side of the atrium in the heart. As its name tells us, is the one that is highly with oxygen and low in carbon dioxide. Normally a sample of an oxygenated blood will be very bright in red due to the amount of blood cells in it. Deoxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the right side of the atrium in the heart. This blood is the one that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. It is also known as the venous blood. Normally a sample of a deoxygenated blood will be darker almost going on blue.
