Spontaneous generation was a (refuted) theory that some forms of life can arise from inorganic matter.
Louis Pasteur refuted it in a series of experiments, in which he boiled different matter (grape juice, broth) which would kill all the bacteria and let it stay for a long time to see if it would develop life (he also had a control condition in which he let the boiled liquid interact with the outside words, and those would develop bacterial life).
<span>Plants take in oxygen all the time for respiration.
Photosynthesis which begins by combining water and CO2, continues in the
"dark phase" in making the glucose molecule. Light is not used for this
part of the reaction so it is called dark , because light is needed for
the first part.

Answer with Explanation:
Let's start first with water on the Earth's moon. This is called "lunar water."
The moon was thought to be barren by scientists long time ago. However, they found out that there are actually <em>water reserves located in the shadowed craters.</em> It is said that the formation of this water was possible with the existence of <u>Oxygen atoms in the lunar rocks and minerals. </u>Due to the <u>solar wind</u> that blew into the place, <u>the Hydrogen ions from the wind combined with the Oxygen in order to form water.</u> So, the water that is found here is relatively fresh.
Let's go to "water on Mars." This is said to be <em>more older than the water on the moon</em> and is actually not that pure for it consists of some mixtures of rocks. It is said that billions of years ago, Mars had an abundant supply of water, but due to climate change, the supply didn't last long. As a result, the planet dried out and only the areas in the polar and mid-latitude regions have water<em> (in the form of ice).</em> This ice melts and refreezes, depending on the temperature. This is an evidence that people may possibly live on Mars.
The correct answer is option B, that is, Genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover.
Genetic drift in combination with mutation, natural selection, and migration is one of the most fundamental mechanisms of evolution. Genetic drift refers to a change in the relative frequency of distinct genotypes in a small populace, owing to the chance vanishing of specific genes as individuals do not reproduce or die.
