Summary Introduction

To review:

The evidence that suggests that RNA (ribonucleic acid)molecules may have functioned as molecular replicators in early protocells.

Introduction:

Protocells are the first formed cells. RNA is a nucleic acid and is a major constituent of biological components essential for all forms of life. It contains information for protein coding. Many viruses have RNA as their genetic material.
