「RNA 世界」假说在前生命化学中是如何解释早期遗传与代谢的？
How does the RNA world hypothesis explain early genetics and metabolism in prebiotic chemistry?
RNA 世界假说认为，在 DNA 与蛋白质出现之前，RNA 既承担遗传信息存储又具备催化反应的能力（核酶），因而可同时满足复制与代谢需求。实验室已证明 RNA 能自我剪切并催化肽键形成，但仍难以解释 RNA 自身如何在无生命环境中被合成与富集，这是该假说的关键缺口。
The RNA world hypothesis proposes that before DNA and proteins, RNA both stored genetic information and catalyzed reactions as ribozymes, satisfying replication and metabolism at once. Experiments show RNA can self-cleave and catalyze peptide-bond formation, yet how RNA itself was synthesized and concentrated in a non-living environment remains a key gap in the idea.

「天体生物学」这门学科主要研究什么？
What does the discipline of astrobiology mainly study?
天体生物学研究生命在宇宙中的起源、演化、分布与未来，横跨天文学、生物学、地质学与化学。它既探索地球生命如何从非生命物质诞生，也评估火星、冰卫星与系外行星上出现生命的可能性。
Astrobiology studies the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe, spanning astronomy, biology, geology, and chemistry. It explores both how Earth life emerged from non-living matter and whether life could arise on Mars, icy moons, or exoplanets.

什么是「泛种说」，它能否解释地球生命的起源？
What is panspermia, and can it explain the origin of life on Earth?
泛种说认为生命或其前体物质可由陨石、彗星或星际尘埃在行星之间传播，即地球生命可能源自外太空带来的有机分子甚至微生物。它解释了生命物质的「搬运」而非「从无到有」的合成，因此把起源问题推回到更早的环境，目前仍属未被证实的假说。
Panspermia holds that life or its precursor molecules could be transported between planets by meteorites, comets, or interstellar dust, so Earth life might have originated from organics or microbes delivered from space. It explains the delivery of living matter rather than its abiogenesis from non-life, thus pushing the origin question earlier, and remains an unproven hypothesis.
