Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements about the theories of (bio) chemical evolution is not true?

• 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 eukaryotic 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 biological 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.
