Question

Oparin and Haldane proposed that the first form of life could have come from pre-existing living organic molecules.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The idea of chemical evolution of life was developed by Oparin (1922) and Haldane (1929). They proposed that with the conditions prevailing on earth, life arose by a series of sequential chemical reactions. The first form of life could have come from pre-existing non-living inorganic molecules which gave rise to formation of diverse organic molecules which are transformed into colloid system to produce life. The modern concept on chemical evolution regarding origin of life was accepted.
