Some such molecular clouds have been found in the middle of the galaxy, where huge amounts of such microscopic particles have been found, which form RNA. Various types of nitriles have been found in this cloud.
These particles alone are extremely toxic. But as soon as they come in suitable environment, they start working for the origin of life. They become the creators of life. These are considered essential for the origin of life. Scientists have found these RNA ancestors in the center of our galaxy. With this, scientists hope that they will be able to better understand the origin of life present in the universe.
They will be able to understand whether the center of the galaxy is behind the origin of our ancestors. How did the particles of life come to our earth from these cosmic clouds? How did these particles lead to the beginning of life?
Spanish scientists have concluded this after analyzing many types of data.
Astrobiologist Victor Rivilla of the Spanish National Research Council and the National Institute of Aerospace Technology said that chemical processes take place in space at a very microscopic level but on a large scale. They convert into many types of nitriles and make the whole world of RNA. From here it is known that life in the universe may have originated from here and later came to earth.So far, no scientist knows exactly how life originated.
Many secrets can be revealed from this new information. Different reasons are told about the origin of life - first that RNA first came into the world, evolved physically, did self-replication, after that it itself went on changing in different forms. This is the RNA World Hypothesis.
The ancestors of RNA would have collided with the Earth from among the clouds of particles, then life would have come here.Victor said that we cannot check the particles found in the galaxy by mixing them with the particles of the Earth, how much and what kind of similarity they have. But before the RNA present on Earth, these nitriles have been considered as prebiotic particles.
Their arrival on Earth must have happened through a meteorite, asteroid. This meteorite must have collided with the Earth through the clouds of these organic particles present in the center of the galaxy.One of these clouds has been named G+0.693-0.027. It is believed that due to these clouds, planets and stars must have been formed. However, no evidence of them has been found so far. Victor says that at the moment we are examining these clouds. As other data becomes available, we will do the analysis and report it in front of everyone.RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a molecule similar to DNA.
It’s present in all living cells and even behaves similarly to the more well-known double-helix. Unlike DNA’s double-strand, though, RNA is only made up of a single strand. Its overall part in the origin of life is unclear. But, there is some evidence the building blocks of RNA could have preceded DNA. Much of that evidence is based on the observations scientists have made of ribosomes, which are made up of RNA. But, that isn’t the big discovery here.
Nor is it the big question on everyone’s minds. Instead, this discovery of the building blocks of RNA at the center of the Milky Way has piqued the interest of many.Could RNA have helped jump-start the generation of life in the universe? It’s possible. But, proving that will be tough.What the scientists found in the cloud, G+0.693-0.027 were nitriles, a group of organic molecules that may have been important in generating RNA in the early universe.
The researchers say that the existence of these building blocks of RNA shows that the chemistry could take place in the interstellar medium.This would have allowed those nitriles to then form the key molecular precursors that the “RNA World” scenario relies on.
This creation scenario argues that RNA was responsible for the origin of life in the early universe. There are, of course, problems with the theory. But it is interesting to dive deeper into the possible part these building blocks of RNA may have played.
Despite all the knowledge that we’ve unlocked over the centuries, there’s still so much we don’t know about the beginning of our universe. Perhaps with this discovery, researchers will be able to uncover more about the early universe, and whether the building blocks of RNA had any part to play in all of it.
