Can anyone tell me if a DNA strand (or helix) formed abiotically has a
length limit before it becomes unstable?
DNA is an "advanced" molecule which does not form prebiotically.
As far as I am aware, prebiotic and abiotic are not the same thing,
"pre-" means before, and "a-" means without.
And if one was to place the monomers of DNA into a test-tube or
beaker, and presuming that polymerisation was spontaneous, how long a
strand (or helix) of DNA would form before it became unstable, if at
all?
