Question

Write the hypothetical proposals put forth by Oparin and Haldane.

Answer 1

Following were the hypothetical proposals put forth by Oparin and Haldane:

• Life originated from pre-existing non-living organic molecules.
• Primitive atmosphere was devoid of oxygen; it had high temperature, volcanic storms and was mainly composed of CH_4, NH_3, H_2, etc.
• These organic molecules underwent some series of reactions and resulted in the formation of complex molecules known as coacervates.
• These coacervates would have taken part in the evolutionary process and lead to the formation of first life forms.
