abiogeneses
n. C2 Proficiency abio·gene·ses
n. the process of life starting from non-living matter. It is the scientific theory that explains how the first living cells appeared on Earth.
n. the hypothetical process by which life arises from non-living matter through chemical evolution. Often used in the plural to refer to the various scientific theories or experiments regarding the origin of life.
Scientists study abiogeneses to understand how life began.
The Miller-Urey experiment provided early evidence for abiogeneses by simulating the conditions of the early Earth.
While the exact mechanisms of abiogeneses remain a subject of intense debate, most modern theories suggest that complex organic molecules formed in the primordial soup before self-replicating structures emerged.
