Solution

Before any living organism evolved on earth, there are several gases present in the atmosphere and inside water like hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon etc and other chemicals. These chemicals reacted with each other and formed a substance which is protein. These proteins gradually formed protoplasm which eventually transformed into cells. From that cell, several cells are formed as a result of cell division.
