Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

Compare and contrast the evidence that supports the two hypotheses describing how long, complex molecules that carry information
Rudiy27

Oparin and Haldane's theory and Miller's experiment are the proof that long complex molecules that carry information such as DNA, might have formed on early earth.

Explanation:

Oparin and Haldane Hypothesis states that life on Early earth could have evolved by chemical evolution.

Oparin and Haldane said that the reducing atmosphere of the early earth caused simple inorganic molecules to react by using sunlight and formed molecules like amino acids and nucleotides.

These monomers combined to form polymers, they would have attained self-replicating tendency eventually these would have assembled into structures and these macromolecules had also made membrane-bound organelle.

Although this hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of it which talks about formation of molecules is accepted.

Millers and Urey in their experiment created an artificial reducing environment like that of early earth. They used a heated pool of water, atmospheric gases like H2O,CH4,N2, NH4 and sparks of electricity. After running the experiment for some days they found that amino acids, sugars, lipids and other organic molecules had formed.

Their hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of is evident that organic building block is formed from inorganic constituent on the earth.

Anettt [7]

Answer:

c. The starch stayed in the bag and the iodine leaked into the bag and the reacted with it, turning the solution black.

Explanation:

According to the given information, the solution inside the dialysis tubing has starch while water present outside has iodine. The color of the water present outside the dialysis tubing does not change which means that starch did not leak out of the bag and stayed in the bag itself. On the other hand, the starch solution present inside the bag turned black representing the fact that iodine entered the bag. The reaction of starch with iodine produces a blue-black color.

Nastasia [14]

The right answer is stop responding to growth regulators.

The p53 protein is a transcription factor that plays an important role in cancer. Discovered in 1979, it binds to DNA and promotes the expression of genes that must repair cellular damage. The p53 protein controls the cell cycle and interacts with dozens of genes.
