25
Q
  1. All living things are complex in all levels, from chemical level to societal level. They have complex molecular/DNA structure, which makes a complex cell structure. All these cells make a complex organism, and this organism also has complex interactions with other organisms

A

Reproduction

28
Q
  1. Life does not arise spontaneously, but has to come only from prior life
