Answer:

We have rocks from the Moon (brought back), meteorites, and rocks that we know came from Mars. We can then use radioactive age dating in order to date the ages of the surfaces (when the rocks first formed, i.e. when the lava cooled and crystallized). We also have meteorites from asteroids and can date them, too.

If Avery had observed transformation using only the extracts containing degraded DNA, degraded RNA, and degraded protein, but NO

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Polysaccharides are the genetic material.

Explanation:

Avery did not observe transformation using the extracts containing degraded DNA. On the other hand, extracts with degraded RNA, proteins, and polysaccharides exhibited transformation. Therefore, he concluded that DNA is the genetic material responsible for transformation. If he would have observed the process of transformation using extracts containing degraded DNA but not with degraded polysaccharides, he might have concluded that "polysaccharides were the genetic material responsible for the process of transformation."
