The origin of heredity in protocells
Here we develop a computational model that examines one of the first major biological innovations-the origin of heredity in simple protocells. The model assumes that the earliest protocells were autotrophic, producing organic matter from CO2 and H2 Carbon fixation was facilitated by geologically sus...
