Question

Which of the following statements about the theories of (bio)chemical evolution is not true?Explain.
a) During chemical evolution, simple organic molecules(monomers) condensed to form more complex molecules(polymers) which then began to replicate based upon complementarity.
b) Margulis suggested that mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from the symbiotic relationship between primordial prokaryotic and eukayotic cells.
c) The first cells were probably formed when self-replicating systems were enveloped in membranous vesicles.
d) Oparin and Haldane demonstrated that by passing an electrical discharge through a vessel containing H2O, CO2, N2, CH4 and NH3 some basic baiological building blocks(like simple amino acids)could have formed abiotically in the earth's early atmosphere.
e) The RNA world hypothesis as proposed by Woese, Crick and Orgel states that RNA, instead of protein, was the first self replicating biochemical molecule that evolved because RNA could have stored genetic information and performed the catalytic roles necessary for primitive self-replication.

Explanation / Answer

option d is not true because The experiment used water (H2O), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen (H2). not co2 and N2.
