RNA
Proteins
Lipids
ATP

Answer 1

Most scientists theorize that DNA originated from RNA. This idea is part of the "RNA world hypothesis," which suggests that early life forms may have relied on RNA both to store genetic information and as a catalyst in biochemical reactions before DNA and proteins became the primary molecules of life.
