A scientist is attempting to provide support for the hypothesis that RNA was the first genetic material. Which of the following

would be a workable alternate hypothesis?
(A) RNA, like DNA, is a carrier of genetic information and contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, and cytosine.
(B) RNA can be observed to self-replicate without the assistance of proteins, while DNA always requires protein-based enzymes to replicate.
(C) RNA exists in both single-stranded and double-stranded configurations; however, it is less stable compared with DNA.
(D) Transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA are products of transcription, but they are not translated as is mRNA.

Answer:

(A) RNA like DNA is a carrier of genetic information and contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine and cytosine.

Explanation:

RNA is a single stranded molecule which is replicating molecule that plays its role evolution of different stages. DNA is double stranded molecule that is stable under alkaline conditions and perform various functions in different body parts. RNA provides template on which DNA nucleotides assemble.

To relieve airway obstruction in infants, lay the baby face down along your forearm using your laps for support. Apply five quick, forceful blows at the baby's back with the palm of  your hand.
If the object did not come out, turn the baby face up and give five quick down thrusts. Continue the back slaps and the chest thrust cycle until the baby recovers.

Populations adapt to changing environmental conditions as a result of __________. populations adapt to changing environmental co
barxatty [35]
Natural selection is the process that result in the adaptation of an organism to environment by means of selectively reproducing changes in its genotype, or genetic constitution. It is the a key mechanism of evolution. Charles Darwin popularised the term "natural selection" contrasting it with artificial selection, which is intentional, whereas natural selection is not.
To make it simple, let's have a group of beetle composing of green and some are brown as an example. here, there is a variation in traits. Since the environment could not support continuous population growth, not all species can reproduce to their full potential. Green beetles can easily be eaten by other species like birds compared to brown beetles. The surviving brown beetles will then generate brown offsprings because their trait has a genetic basis. Since more brown beetles survive and becomes more common in the population, the process continues until all individuals will eventually be brown. so basically, if you have variation, differential reproduction, and heredity, you will have evolution by natural selection as an outcome.
