Both (b) and (c) Explanation: • Before the protocell, a possible sequence of organic chemicals involved starting from inorganic gases, which gave rise to amino acids, polypeptides, and eventually microspheres (b). • Also, inorganic gases led to the formation of nucleotides, which then combined into nucleic acids and genes (c). • Thus, both pathways contributed to different classes of important organic molecules necessary for the origin of life prior to the formation of protocells.
