The Fundamentals of Life and Earth's Early History Quiz

Homeostasis, structural organization, metabolism, growth and reproduction, response to environmental conditions or stimuli, and evolved by the process of natural selection.

4.6 billion years.

Earth forms by accretion from a cloud of interstellar material orbiting the sun. Earth cools, and the early atmosphere and oceans form. Prebiotic chemical reactions create the building blocks of life. Evolution begins with the RNA world. The first cellular life-forms evolve. The process of diversification that has fashioned the tree of life begins.
