What are the possibilities that all Terran life originated from a singular strand of mono-DNA or singular mono-protein?

In summary, the conversation is discussing the possibilities of all Terran life originating from a singular strand of mono-DNA or singular mono-protein, or a two-component RNA precursor. The speaker suggests that there are only two or three possible precursors capable of generating all lifeforms on Terra, such as a single self-replicating protein that could replicate its own RNA/DNA template. They also ask if there are any other possible postulates.

Past Postulation...
Affirmative, according to my level of understanding of Genetic Genesis, there are only two or three two-component precursors possible that is capable, given enough time, of generating every lifeform on Terra:
1. Single stranded DNA or component protein.
2. Single stranded RNA or component protein.
3. Single stranded DNA/RNA component mirrors with component proteins.
For example, given that a single self-replicating protein was somehow 'forged' from component materials under hydrothermal conditions, (an ocean floor hydrothermal vent) , or other possible sources, in which that protein was capable of replicating its own RNA/DNA template.
For example, a protein that replicated a RNA/DNA template, in which that template replicated an exact copy of the original protein, should have been enough, given enough time, to have generated/produced all past, present, and future lifeforms on Terra.
Is there another possible postulate?

1. What is Mono-DNA and Mono-Protein?
Mono-DNA and Mono-Protein refer to the concept of using a single type of nucleic acid or protein in the genetic makeup of an organism, instead of the traditional combination of DNA and RNA or multiple types of proteins. This is currently a theoretical concept and has not been observed in any known form of life on Earth.
2. Why explore the possibilities of Mono-DNA and Mono-Protein in Terran life?
Exploring the possibilities of Mono-DNA and Mono-Protein in Terran life can provide valuable insights into the origins and evolution of life on Earth. It can also expand our understanding of the potential diversity and complexity of life beyond what we currently know.
3. How could Mono-DNA and Mono-Protein impact the development of new technologies?
If Mono-DNA and Mono-Protein were to be found in any form of life, it could revolutionize the field of biotechnology. It could potentially lead to the development of new methods for genetic engineering and the creation of synthetic organisms with unique properties and capabilities.
4. What challenges would arise in studying Mono-DNA and Mono-Protein?
The biggest challenge in studying Mono-DNA and Mono-Protein is that it is a hypothetical concept with no concrete evidence yet. Therefore, it would require extensive research and experimentation to even begin to understand its potential implications and applications.
5. Could Mono-DNA and Mono-Protein exist in extraterrestrial life forms?
It is possible that Mono-DNA and Mono-Protein could exist in extraterrestrial life forms, as the fundamental building blocks of life may vary across different planets and environments. Further exploration and research in this area could provide valuable insights into the potential diversity of life in the universe.
