Detailed explanation-1: -Haldane, unfamiliar with Oparin’s theory, believed that simple organic molecules formed first and in the presence of ultraviolet light became increasingly complex, ultimately forming cells. Haldane and Oparin’s ideas formed the foundation for much of the research on the origin of life, specifically formation of cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Oparin-Haldane hypothesis suggests that life arose gradually from inorganic molecules, with “building blocks” like amino acids forming first and then combining to make complex polymers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biogenesis means making new living things. More specifically, it is the theory that living things only come from other living things through reproduction. Abiogenesis, sometimes called spontaneous generation, means life coming from non-living things.

Detailed explanation-4: -abiogenesis. / (ˌeɪbaɪəʊˈdʒɛnɪsɪs) / noun. Also called: autogenesis the hypothetical process by which living organisms first arose on earth from nonliving matter. another name for spontaneous generation Compare biogenesis.
