The Iron-Sulfur World Hypothesis: The Origins Of Life

The origin of life has been a debatable topic between many individuals. Two theories were proposed that made these citizens questioned and constantly trying to understand how life on Earth ever began and what cause it to start. One of the theory that was proposed was the RNA World Hypothesis. This idea explained that organic molecules accumulated on Earth in the early years and perhaps different compounds were assembled together, aided by enzymes or catalysts, to build RNAs sequences that lead to the beginning of life through time. The second theory was proposed was the Iron-Sulfur World Hypothesis. This idea described how mineral catalyst presented near the deep sea hydrothermal vents created a series of chemical reactions that potentially

Among the molecules, nucleases and sugars were the ones that came together to create a molecular that become one of the essential elements to the central dogma of life: the ribonucleic acid aka RNA. Since there is no such thing as more than one exact components in the molecular world, each sequence that was assembled select the ribonucleotides randomly which create a diversity of RNAs (part II page 1). These lead to the ideal of how diverse life is in the past and modern world. With the ability to copy and replicate new strands, the diversity and the expansion of RNAs are constantly increasing (part III page 3). Along with RNA on the central dogma of life, DNA and proteins also have a role and it is possible that they came from the existence of RNAs and other factors. While the amino acids were flying around the air on the planet, an attraction between a set of ribonucleotides and a specific amino acid occurred that allowed the binding to form a RNA sequence as well as a corresponding protein sequence. With reverse transcription, a corresponding of a DNA sequence that corresponds to the RNA sequence may form that would potentially carry the genetic materials because of its
