11. The Miller-Urey experiment showed that, under certain conditions, organic compounds could form
from inorganic molecules. What is one consequence of this experiment?
a. Scientists think that life could not have developed through natural chemical and physical
processes.
b. The experiment proved that methane and ammonia will always give rise to organic molecules in
any circumstance.
C. Scientists think it is possible that organic compounds formed from the inorganic compounds
present on Earth billions of years ago.
d. The experiment used the exact inorganic compounds present on Earth billions of years ago and left
little doubt about the mechanism of early life.

Some species of wasps are social. the queen starts a colony from scratch each spring. she builds a small nest, and lays and raises a group of female workers. the workers enlarge the nest while the queen continues to lay eggs. unfertilized eggs become males that mate with newly hatched females. all of the wasps except the newly fertilized females die by the summer. which best describes this behavior? a)it is beneficial only to the males that do not fertilize eggs. b)it is beneficial only to the female workers that are not fertilized. c)it is beneficial to each one of the individual colony members. d)it is beneficial to the whole species, but not to all of the individual members.
