Question

which of the following features was required by the first life - form, according to the chemical evolution theory? the first living molecule had to view available hint(s) provide a template that could be copied catalyze polymerization reactions acquire energy both provide a template that could be copied and catalyze polymerization reactions maintain homeostasis

Explanation:

According to the chemical - evolution theory, the first living molecule needed to be able to replicate itself (provide a template that could be copied) and catalyze polymerization reactions to build more complex molecules. Energy acquisition and maintaining homeostasis are more complex functions that likely developed later in the evolution of life - forms.

Answer:

both provide a template that could be copied and catalyze polymerization reactions
