Adenine was synthesized by Orgel, using the Miller apparatus, when he used the gas:

1. carbon dioxide

2. hydrogen cyanide

3. hydrogen sulfide

4. nitrogen

The control apparatus of the Urey and Miller experiment was devoid of:

1. a provision for evaporation 

2. an arrangement for circulation

3. a source of energy

4. an arrangement for condensation

The formation of a new species through change in a single lineage is known as:

(1) Anagenesis, or phyletic evolution

(2) Cladogenesis, or divergent evolution

(3) Convergent evolution

(4) Allopatry

For the stability of the organic compounds, Oparin opined that probably:
1. UV radiation never reached the surface of the primeval Earth
2. the primeval Earth was in a molten state
3. the primeval Earth atmosphere was reducing rather than oxidizing
4. plenty of energy sources were available for chemical reactions to occur

2. Cyanobacteria

3. Unicellular algae

4. Diatoms

The similarities between the eyes of an octopus and of a mammal are a result of:

The now extinct reptile group that evolved into mammals was:

A population of an animal is hunted down to only 20 organisms. Later the number is restored to 10,000 organisms, but the variations in this population are highly reduced. This is called:

1. Founder Effect

2. Bottleneck effect

3. Edge effect

4. Heterosis
