Many scientific explanations for the origin of DNA and life have been proposed over the years. These hypotheses explain how
inorganic molecules became organic monomers, such as amino acids, sugars, phosphates, and bases. But this still didn't explain
where living things came from. If macromolecules were able to form on early Earth, this still leaves us with the question of how
the polymers would have become self-replicating, a basic criteria for life. There are several ideas but little certainty. Some of the
common ideas include: the RNA world hypothesis, the genes first hypothesis, and the metabolism first hypothesis."
Which of these statements is proposed by the genes first hypothesis?
A)
RNA is highly stable.
B)
The first life forms were self-replicating nucleic acids, such as RNA or DNA
RNA is able to store and pass on genetic information.
D)
RNA contains less nitrogen bases than DNA and thus, is a simpler molecule.
E)
Ribosomal RNA (TRNA) and transfer RNA (TRNA) are the primary molecules
responsible for protein synthesis.
