The key steps essential for the origination of life. Introduction: An uncontrollably dynamic environment, which shifts between a frozen and fiery Earth, was implausible to have supported life forms. The early atmosphere of Earth was comprised of CO 2 at high levels and it affected the temperature. Over 2 million years, Earth cooled forming silicate clouds. These clouds condensed and rained down, thereby forming the ocean. The level of CO 2 in the atmosphere decreased and Earth cooled further. Several times in the history of Earth, all the continents formed a single supercontinent. Over geological time continents moved, and in the Archean eon that followed the first Hadean eon, life forms emerged.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait?

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction.
