#Section C (Domain-Specific Knowledge)
  1. Simple organic compounds can be synthesized in the laboratory from inorganic precursors, but complex organic compounds like carbohydrates and proteins can be synthesized only by living organisms

  2. A life force ultimately controls the activities of living organisms, and this life force cannot be studied by physical or chemical methods

  3. Living organisms are composed of the same elements present in nonliving things, plus a few special trace elements found only in living organisms or their products

  4. Living organisms can be understood in terms of the same physical and chemical laws that can be used to explain all natural phenomena

Calculate the number of times the DNA of a modern E. coli cell has been copied accurately since its earliest bacterial precursor cell arose about 3.5 billion years ago. Assume for simplicity that over this time period, E. coli has undergone, on average, one cell division every 12 hours (this is an overestimate for modern bacteria, but probably an underestimate for ancient bacteria).
