Answer:
1) abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules (monomers)
2) joining of monomers into polymers
3) packaging of these molecules into protobionts, droplets with membranes that maintained a distinct internal chemistry
4) origin of self-replicating molecules that eventually made inheritance possible
Explanation:
Not sure if I'm correct but my best guess is the cell membrane seeing as it surrounds the cell itself and is responsible for allowing certain molecules to diffuse in or out of the cell. Good Luck! :)
Answer:
2 & 4
Explanation:
The theory of spontaneous generation stipulated that life emanated spontaneously from ‘nothing’. This was believed to be true until Francesco Redi & Luis Pasteur later falsified this theory using an experiment. He had two plates of cooked meat. He covered one with a glass bowl and left the other open. The plate with a bowl did not develop maggots while the open one did. This showed that maggot was as a result of hatched eggs that were deposited by flies. Life, therefore, emanates from life.

Answer:
D. A population with high genetic biodiversity is better able to respond to environmental stressors.
Explanation:
The genetic biodiversity of a species is the diversity of alleles that it possesses in its genetic pool. For a given gene, a population can have one or more alleles; and the more alleles the population has, it will be more diverse. Under normal conditions (without stress), the alleles that are present in high frequency in a population, are those that best respond to the environment where the population occurs. However, if some environmental condition changes and some type of environmental stress emerge (ie drought), it is possible that these alleles no longer respond equally effectively and then, it is possible that the alleles that on normal conditions occur with low frequency, are more adequate to face the stress. A population with fewer alleles (less genetic diversity) has terefore fewer options to deal with environmental stressors and<u> a population with high genetic biodiversity</u> will do this better.
