| Assertion (A): | When we look at stars on a clear night sky we are, in a way, looking back in time. |
| Reason (R): | When we see objects in our immediate surroundings we see them instantly and hence in the present time. |

| I. | Water vapour, methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia released from molten mass covered the surface. |
| II. | The UV rays from the sun broke up water into Hydrogen and Oxygen and the lighter H2 escaped. |
| III. | Oxygen combined with ammonia and methane to form water, CO2, and others. |
| IV. | As it cooled, the water vapour fell as rain, to fill all the depressions and form oceans. |

The theory of spontaneous generation stated that:
1. life arose from living forms only
2. life can arise from both living and non-living
3. life can arise from non-living things only
4. life arises spontaneously, neither from the living nor from the non-living

| I. | The first form of life could have come from pre-existing non-living organic molecules (e.g. RNA, protein, etc.) |
| II. | The formation of life was preceded by chemical evolution, i.e., the formation of diverse organic molecules from inorganic constituents. |
2. Only II is correct

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

In 1953, S. L. Miller created primitive earth conditions in the laboratory and gave experimental evidence for the origin of the first form of life from pre-existing non-living organic molecules. The primitive earth conditions created include:
| 1. | low temperature, volcanic storms, an atmosphere rich in oxygen |
| 2. | low temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere |
| 3. | high temperature, volcanic storms, non-reducing atmosphere |
| 4. | high temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere containing CH4, NH3 etc. |
