Answer: The correct option is B (self-replicating molecules, such as RNA and DNA)

Explanation:

The current theory of the process of evolution makes use of present day knowledge of genes and chromosomes to explain the source of genetic variation upon which natural selection works. These genes are discrete units of inheritance which determine hereditary characteristics. All the information for the inheritable characteristics of an individual are contained in these genes.

When a cell divides, the genes duplicate themselves so that each daughter cell has an identical set of genes as the original parent cell. These genes are passed from parents to offspring in the gametes of the parents.

Gene are found in the DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules or RNA (Ribonucleic acid) molecules. These molecules are capable of self replication due to a process called mutation. Mutations are random changes in DNA that alter genetic information and sin introduce new characteristics. They may occur

--> in body cells or

--> during gamete formation.

Thus, evolution from vesicles to true cells is through self replicating molecules through the process of mutation which is the raw material for evolution

It oxidies iron and inorganic sulfur compounds. The oxidation process can be harmful, as it produces sulfuric acid, which is a major pollutant. It has been suggested that T. ferrooxidans forms a symbiotic relationship with members of the genus Acidiphilium, a bacterial capable of iron reduction. Other species of Thiobacillus grow in water and sediment; there are both freshwater and marine strains.

The bacteria are usually found in rivers, canals, mine drainage effluents and mining areas. So there may be some source of these bacilli near their house.They require inorganic sources to grow and contain an enzyme called ferrous oxidase that allows them to metabolize iron.

What are the 3 types of RNA?
Tatiana [17]

mRNA or Messenger RNA
mRNA transcribes the genetic code from DNA into a form that can be read and used to make proteins. mRNA carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of a cell.<span>rRNA or Ribosomal RNA
rRNA is located in the cytoplasm of a cell, where ribosomes are found. rRNA directs the translation of mRNA into proteins.</span><span>tRNA or Transfer RNA
Like rRNA, tRNA is located in the cellular cytoplasm and is involved in protein synthesis. Transfer RNA brings or transfers amino acids to the ribosome that correspond to each three-nucleotide codon of rRNA. The amino acids then can be joined together and processed to make polypeptides and proteins</span>

NARA [144]

Answer: Peroxisomes

Explanation:

These are micro body which is found virtually in all the eukaryotic cells. They are involved in the catabolism of long chain and short chain fatty acid.

They generate the highly reactive oxygen species and it is broken down here only.These molecules are hydrogen peroxide and they are converted into water molecules.

This organelle is known as peroxisomes.
