Vedclass · Answer

(B) The Assertion is correct because,according to the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis,the first organic molecules synthesized in the primitive atmosphere and oceans were simple monomers like amino acids and nucleotides,which polymerized to form proteins and nucleic acids.The Reason is also correct because the early life forms (protobionts) originated and evolved in the primitive aquatic environment (the 'primordial soup').However,the fact that life originated in water is not the direct scientific explanation for why proteins and nucleic acids were the specific organic compounds required for the origin of life. Therefore,the Reason does not explain the Assertion.

Assertion : Organic compounds first evolved in earth required for origin of life were protein and nucleic acid.
Reason : All life forms were in water environment only.
