A. Similar genetic sequences of organisms near the hydrothermal vents

参考答案: D
本题详细解析:
Morphological similarities of organisms near hy.jkpoid 3al/t z68b6t +fm0xpdrothermal vents could indicate shared adaptations to the extreme environment of hydrothermal vents. However, morphological similarities alone do not necessarilyjlfz a3 6bk80.mtppixd6+ ot / provide direct evidence that LUCA emerged at hydrothermal vents, and certainly, not all organisms at hydrothermal vents have similar morphological features. Therefore Choice D is not evidence to support that the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) could have emerged at hydrothermal vents.
Similar genetic sequences (Choice A) could suggest a common ancestry or adaptation to a similar environment, potentially supporting the idea that LUCA could have emerged at hydrothermal vents. Mineral catalysts for chemical reactions (Choice B) could provide a favourable environment for the formation of organic molecules, and the presence of hydrogen and carbon dioxide (Choice C) could serve as potential energy sources for early life forms.
