How was the creation of life on earth?

Scientists have discovered all 5 nucleobases of DNA and RNA (RNA) necessary for life in meteorites.

 So what is the emergence of life on Earth from space through meteorites?


In other words, the researchers are skeptical about how life on earth is spread. One study after another, each piece of information is dizzying. Scientists have so far found the existence of three nucleobases of DNA and RNA in asteroids. But it was still not understood, if there are three nucleobases, why did not get the other two? Or is this nucleobase formed in some other way?

Origin Of Life

However, in a study this year, Associate Professor Yasuhiro Oba of Japan's Hokkaido University and his team identified the remaining two nucleobases in asteroid samples - claim. But for this, they also had to burn wood. Experiments were carried out with cold water instead of the commonly used formic acid. Their extraordinary move may have led to the identification of the remaining two nucleobases. The research team studied the Murchison, Murray, and Tagish meteorites from Australia, Oklahoma, and British Columbia. They also proved the presence of protein, nitrogen, water, and other organic compounds in this study. 


Human genetic code DNA consists of four nucleobases - adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. Similar to RNA, only RNA contains uracil instead of thymine. The new research also found two remaining nucleobases in the meteorite sample. Two newly discovered nucleobases (cytosine and thymine) are included in pyrimidines. They also obtained samples of uracil, although earlier studies were the first to obtain samples of uracil. Indeed, DNA/RNA cannot be produced by itself in meteorites, but according to this new information, scientists think that this asteroid or meteorite may have a role in the transmission of life on earth or it may be known how life was transmitted on earth. It is even possible that these bio-materials are spread to Earth from other planets by asteroids/meteorites.


However, it is not yet clear why other nucleobases are not as easily detected as purines in space rocks. From here they also hypothesize that the nucleobases may have been formed in asteroids through a photochemical process.
