1) which of the following molecules would be the most versatile for starting life-like processes: DNA, RNA, protein, or phospholipids? What are three qualities of this molecule that could have been useful in starting life?
2) As photosynthetic organisms became more abundant, what do you expect happened to atmospheric CO2 levels?
Homework Answers
1. DNA would be considered as the most versatile molecule for starting life like processes.
Qualities of DNA that qualify this molecule useful for starting life are:
DNA is a double stranded molecule.
It contains two strands which have complimentary base pairing. Therefore each strand acts as a template for the synthesis of the other strand.
DNA undergoes semi conservative replication.
2. As a result of evolution of photosynthetic organisms, there was a considerable decrease in the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The earth's early atmosphere contained high levels of carbon dioxide. But with the advent of photosynthetic organisms, the carbon dioxide was sucked up by them, resulting in lower carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Transcription is the process of rewriting DNA. DNA molecules are made from 4 different nucleotides which acts as building blocks. These building blocks are adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. When put together in different chemical combinations they become directions for the functions of the cell molecules which are primarily proteins. When a certain protein is needed, the RNA polymerase enzyme will find the gene for that particular protein and makes an RNA copy of it. DNA and RNA have similar...
