Summary Introduction
To review:
1. The difference and similarity between the three models for the origin of the first cells.
2. The explained and unexplained features of the models for life.
Introduction:
In order to explain the origin of the first cell, three different type of models are proposed that show replication, evolution, and origin of the living cells from the non-living materials. The prebiotic soup model, the metabolist model, and the RNA world model are the three types of models that explain the origin of the first cell.
