Answer:
It has been hypothesized that there were four steps that occurred to create the first living cell:
1. The Abiotic (Nonliving) synthesis and accumulation of small organic monomers like amino acids or nucleotides
2. The Joining of monomers into polymers
3. The origin of an effective, low-risk method of replication ( RNA World )
4. The self-assembly of molecules into droplets that had chemical characteristics inside different from the environment outside.
Cell is the smallest most basic unit of life
