Which of the following is not a basic point about Oparin-Haldane hypothesis?
1.    Early earth had a chemically oxidising atmosphere.
2.    This atmosphere, exposed to energy in various forms, produced simple organic compounds ("monomers").
3.    These compounds accumulated in a "soup", which may have been concentrated at various locations (shorelines, oceanic vents etc.).
4.    By further transformation, more complex organic polymers – and ultimately life – developed in the soup.
