Question

Question 7 (1 point) What is the "chicken-and-egg" problem we face when trying to decide which came first - proteins or nucleic acids? early proteins and nucleic acids were very similar to each other. proteins and nucleic acids are always present together at the same time. nucleic acids cannot replicate without proteins, and proteins cannot be made without nucleic acids. O proteins and nucleic acids probably looked very different before the origin of life.

Answer 1

Answer=(c)Nucleic Acid can't replicate without proteins and proteins can not be made without nucleic acids.

Explanation-

DNA(Nucleic Acid) replication takes place by the help of DNA polymerase.DNA polymerases is a protein.This DNA makes mRNA by the RNA polymerase and this mRNA further carried this message and makes protein by the help of ribosome.

So we can't decide which comes first protein or nucleic acids.

Thus option C is correct one rest all the options are incorrect because they are inappropriate according to evolution of Nucleic Acids and Proteins.
