Experimental investigation of the key question of the origin of life concerning the chronological order in the primordial sequence of nucleic acid, protein, and cell. It is pointed out that, when viewed against the background of experiments on the selective reaction of basic homopolyamine acids with mononucleotides (Lacey and Pruitt, 1969; Woese, 1968), the experiments made help to establish a basis for understanding how information originally flowed from proteins to nucleic acids.
Some astrophysical implications of a primordial solar D/H ratio of 0.000015 are investigated. Perhaps the most interesting aspects of the D/H ratio concern galactic evolution and cosmology. It is shown that the initial galactic abundance of deuterium exceeds by at least a factor of 30 the abundance expected from known galactic production mechanisms. If a Friedmann cosmology is a correct description of the universe, it must be an open one unless some as yet unknown mechanism is invo ked to produce deuterium and He-3.
Two basalts, two breccias, and two soils from Apollo 15 were analyzed by nondestructive gamma-ray spectrometry. The concentrations of potassium, thorium, and uranium in the basalts were similar to those in the Apollo 12 basalts, but the potassium:uranium ratios were somewhat higher. Primordial radioelements were enriched in the soils and breccia, consistent with a two-component mixture of mare basalt and up to 20 percent foreign component (KREEP). The abundance patterns for cosmogenic radionuclides implied surface sampling for all specimens. The galactic cosmic-ray production rate of vanadium-48 was determined as 57 (plus or minus 11) disintegrations per minute per kilogram of iron. Cobalt-56 concentrations were used to estimate the intensity of the solar flare of January 25, 1971.
