The correct answer is C. Students communicate results in laboratory reports, and professional scientists communicate results in scientific journals.
Explanation:
Both students and scientists can carry out scientific research that involves studying a phenomenon by using the scientific method and scientific instruments. However, professional scientists and students differ in their level of knowledge and expertise in science. This makes scientific research made by scientists to have some differences in comparison to scientific research by students.
One of these differences is the way results are communicated. Indeed, students develop simple scientific research and the results are communicated in laboratory reports at school, colleges, etc. On the other hand, professional scientists develop complex research. Due to this, results are communicated in academic texts with strict criteria and that can be seen by other scientists, these are known as scientific journals.
Answer:
C. Joining of self-replication molecules into protocells.
Explanation:
For the origin of life, at least three conditions are needed.
- there must have been a supply of replicators, that is, self-replicating molecules.
- copying of these replicators must have been subject to error through mutation.
- the system of replicators must have required a continuous supply of free energy and partial isolation from the general environment.
The radiation received from the sun on the early earth must have fulfilled the requirement of mutation. The mutation is necessary for bringing variation in the genetic material thus driving evolution. To protect the self-replicating molecules from the external environment and to keep them together, the molecules must have been enclosed in a membrane barrier, which should be selectively semipermeable, to facilitate the exchange of molecules.
