a. true
b. false
ANS: T
In laboratory experiments, mixtures of dissolved compounds and gases thought to be similar to Earth's
early atmosphere have been exposed to light, heat, and electrical sparks. These energized mixtures
produce simple sugars and a few of the biologically important amino acids. They even produce small
proteins and nucleotides (components of the molecules that transmit genetic information between
generations). Information can be found in the section Life Probably Originated in the Ocean.
