- The introductory passage describes the identification of eukaryotic signature genes in Lokiarchaeota, explaining that these suggest that bacteria were acquired by archaeal cells to give rise to the Eukarya. Prior to this event, a series of events needed to take place in order for life to arise on Earth. Put the events below into the correct order to summarize the hypothesized path from prebiotic chemistry to evolutionary diversification, beginning with the earliest event. Place the items below in the correct order. Items may overlap if events occur simultaneously. ► View Available Hint(s) Bacteria and Archaea diverged. Self-replicating and catalytic RNA developed (the "RNA world"). DNA genomes developed, along with the processes of DNA replication and transcription. Lipid bilayers surrounded the earliest cells and allowed the formation of cellular compartments. Biological building blocks (amino acids, nucleosides, and sugars) appeared.
