How are self-replicating modules essential to the most popular hypothesis about the origin of life?

GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

I have not heard the term "self-replicating modules" used in the context of the origin of life, OoL, but conclude it is intended to describe ostensibly the simplest initial organism(s) that biology might consider to be the first life, even the last universal common ancestor, LUCA.

Reality is, there is no replication possible without DNA, the only organic compound that contains the required biochemical elements required to enable replication. RNA is insufficient to self-replicate. Actually, DNA itself does not self-replicate, but is essential in the process. Consequently, only a fully assembled organism will self-replicate, meaning a multitude of proteins, enzymes, ribosomes, RNA and key supplies of required elements and molecules are necessary to allow self-replication, all of which must be brought within a cell structure, filtered from pollution and contamination.

To answer the question, the first, self-replicating elements of life are intelligently designed, irreducibly complex biochemical assemblies that are functionally sufficient to reproduce. DNA is the key for this and there is no evidence that anything simpler can accomplish self-replication.

Regarding the "most popular hypothesis," the present field of OoL research is a chaotic mess with no explanation of how the first life started. There are no naturalistic processes capable of producing the key elements required for OoL. The greatest unexplained issue is how did DNA get created. DNA is not part of the popular story because it is known to be too complex and known to be beyond any naturalistic process for formation.

Much else could be said about this, but the answer to the question is the modules are only relevant if defined as a complete functioning cellular entity.

Jet001 [13]

If Jurgen, from Germany, speaks with his friend Koji, from Japan, like he does with all of his other German friends, he may be adopting an unconscious incompetent technique to communicate.

Germany, federative States of Germany, is a nation in Central Europe. It is the second most populous country in Europe, behind Russia, and the most numerous member state of the European Community. Germany is located between the North and Baltic Seas to the north and the Alps to the south; it has a land area of 357,022 square kilometers and a population of almost 84 million people divided among its 16 constituent states. Germany shares boundaries with Denmark to the north, Poland or the Czech Republic to the east, Austrian and Swiss to the south, and France, Luxembourg, Belgian, and the Netherlands to the west. The state capitol and most populated city is Berlin, and its financial center is Frankfurt; the Ruhr is its largest urban area.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Prior to 1860, the center of economic power in the South shifted from the upper south to the lower south.

e. is a correct option.

The major reason behind this shift of economic power was that the demand of cotton was increasing during the mid nineteenth century and it was grown in the lower south. However the upper south kept on cultivating tobacco which was not in demand those days.
