AIPMTAIPMT 2001Evolution

Solution:

The first living beings were procaryotic, like bacteria. They were single-celled. Nucleic acid core consisted of naked DN A. These living beings were present in the environment of soupy sea having abundant organic molecules. Nutritionally they were chemoheterotrophs. They absorbed the organic materials from outside both for body building and liberation of energy. Respiration was anaerobic since free oxygen was absent in the environment.
