Abstract
The modern theory of molecular processes provides a natural explanation for some clue observed features of biosphere formation during the early stages of the appearance of the molecular world. It was shown that a mere increase in the complexity of molecular objects is accompanied by the first manifestations of the fundamental properties that become subsequently predominant in much more complex objects: viruses, cells, bacteria, etc.
