How did the first cellular structures evolve?
I understand the organic molecules started to replicate themselves, basically becoming DNA, but how did that lead to things like cytoplasm, a cellular membrane and things like that? Everything I’ve read so far has basically skipped over this part.
Is there a property in DNA molecules that attracts the materials for things like cytoplasm, and it went from there? Is it an end result from the DNA?
Basically, I want to know how strands of DNA evolved into a full blown cell.
