Homework #4

1.) Natural Selection is the process by which the members of a species with the best attributes live longer and reproduce more so that the species evolves
2.) Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine, carboxyl, and side chains. Handedness refers to how an amino acids are structured. Since almost all life is left-handed it gives further evidence to a common ancestry.
3.) A liquid medium is necessary for molecules to be transported for life to exist. Water is the best medium because it has a higher melting and boiling point than other mediums so chemical reactions happen faster. Other potential liquids are methane and ethane.
