Abstract
From first principles, a simple model was derived to describe the reduplication of the molecular structure as a sequence of stages whose probabilities can be estimated using the general theory of molecular transformations. It was shown that the genetic information transfer in time (the phenomenon of life) for a long period is impossible without simultaneous “phenomenon of death” and that taking into account the features of transition states in reactions (quantum beats) leads to self-oscillations.
