Miller/Urey and other scientists studying the origin of life have shown that:

• Formation of life on early Earth required material from space

• Simple cells can be produced in a laboratory using spontaneous generation

• Oxygen and water were present in the atmosphere to support life

• Organic molecules like amino acids and nucleotides could be produced from abiotic/inorganic molecules

1. origin of a protobiont

2. origin of organic monomers

3. origin of prokaryotes

4. incorporation of self-replicating RNA

5. origin of monomers joining into polymers.

• 3, 2, 5, 1, 4
