摘要

The Precambrian era is associated with the origin of life on primitive Earth. It was, in fact, in that era that ribonucleic acid (RNA) was first acquired. From this evolved the genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that later generated the biomolecules that formed the first cell. In this way, with the ongoing changes in environmental factors, the first cells evolved to give rise to higher multicellular organisms, i.e., plants and animals. Radiolarians and diatoms are organisms that have been conserved since the Precambrian era. However, although these organisms are alive (they can be considered as living fossils), they do not suffice to explain the origin of life. To understand the origin of life, the interactions among inorganic compounds that existed in the Precambrian era must be elucidated. In this context, calcium, barium, or strontium silico-carbonates (usually called silica-biomorphs) have been simply named biomorphs that emulate the morphologies of organisms, such as flowers, leaves, stems, helices, worms, radiolarians, and diatoms, among others. The shapes of the biomorphs can be implicated in the origin of life due to their similarity with the shapes of the cherts of the Precambrian era. However, biomorphs are inorganic compounds that do not contain any organic biomolecules such as nucleic acids or proteins inside their chemical structures. The aim of the present work was to synthesize calcium, barium, or strontium silica biomorphs in the presence of nucleic acids: genomic DNA (linear double helices), plasmid DNA (circular helices), and RNA (a single chain helix). The morphology of these biomorphs was assessed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained microphotographs revealed that nucleic acids direct the synthesis of biomorphs toward a unique and specific structure for each of these biomolecules. The chemical composition and the crystalline structure were determined through micro-Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction to characterize the m
