For differential success in reproduction, all the following must be present except:
| 1. | Gene flow between populations. |
| 2. | Variations must be genetically inherited. |
| 3. | Certain variations allow an individual to produce more offspring that survive in the next generation. |
| 4. | There must be variations in the phenotypes of individuals. |
Identify the correct statement:
| 1. | As the coacervates do not have lipid outer membranes and cannot reproduce, they alone could not have been the precursors of life. |
| 2. | The microspheres could not be induced to constrict but had a large amount of diversity. |
| 3. | The earliest life was probably not driven by solar energy as is seen today. |
| 4. | Protobionts cannot separate a combination of molecules from the surroundings or maintain an internal environment, but are able to reproduce. |
