Big bang theory 1. this is the oldest among life's origin theories and the most accepted among others. It may vary vary on the practice of a religion, but it's commonality is that a Divine God created life. It is called the 2.Meteorite contains amino acids, nucleotide bases and sugar. Hundreds of thousands of meteorites and comets are known to have fallen into the early Earth, suggesting that it may contain some organic material. It is referred as the 3. Greek philosopher Aristotle proposed a theory eith the idea that living matter may arise from non-living matter. These are based on early observations such as the appearance of maggots in rotting meat, mice on corn and fish from mud of previously dry lakes
Radiometric dating is a technique used to determine the age of rocks. Geologists have used this technique to determine that: A. The universe started with the "Big Bang." B. Earth is about 6.2 trillion years old, and life appeared on Earth about 4.9 trillion years ago. C. Earth is about 4.6 billion years old, and life appeared on Earth about 4.1 billion years ago. D. Earth is about 4.6 million years old, and life appeared on Earth about 4.4 million years ago. E. Earth is about 6.2 thousand years old, and life appeared on Earth about 6 thousand years ago.

- How much time does it take for 1 half-life to occur? -Approximately how many half-lives are there in 20,000 years? -If 30 percent of the carbon-14 atoms remain in a sample, how long ago did the organism die?
55: Radiometric dating ... Group of answer choices A: is based on the scientific observation that unstable “parent” isotopes decay into more stable “daughter” isotopes at a constant rate B: involves some event that initiates a radiometric clock, such as when a plant or animal dies (radiocarbon). C: has helped us determine that the Earth is roughly 4.54 billion years old. D: provides an accurate means of determining the age of materials that are very old. E: All of these answers are true
Which of the following was the least likely objective of the Urey-Miller experiment? Group of answer choices To demonstrate that oxygen can be produced by plants. To recreate the conditions of the Earth before life existed and produce the molecules necessary for life from primordial inorganic matter (water, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide). To build a case (though not necessarily prove) that life can originate from nonliving matter through natural means. To demonstrate that organic molecules like amino acids (building blocks of protein) and nucleotide bases (building blocks of DNA) do not necessarily originate only from living matter. To demonstrate that lightning may have been the essential energy source (early in Earth's evolution) in the production of molecules essential for life.
