Detailed explanation-2: -’The Hot Dilute Soup’ was a phrase used by Haldane. According to the theory of chemical evolution, in this soup, molecules interacted and aggregated to form more complex molecules called coacervates.

Detailed explanation-3: -The idea of the primordial soup was originally proposed by Alexander Oparin and John Haldane as a possible explanation for the creation of life on our planet. The theory states that if energy is added to the gases that made up Earth’s early atmosphere, the building blocks of life would be created.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solution : Prebiotic soup word is coined by J.B.S.Haldane. Haldane called ocean as prebiotic soup. All the reactions which lead to the formation of organic molecules like sugars, amino acids, fatty acids purines and pyramidins etc., occurred in the ocean so it was described as the prebiotic soup.
