Life is based off of carbon because carbon allows itself to form bonds with other atoms and can bond to other carbon atoms with one, two, or three bonds. It easily bonds up to four times and can form virtually unlimited chains. The simplicity of structures come together to build longer and more complex chains, but many combinations do not work putting a limit on the length of a carbon chain. The working chain has to be able to duplicate or recreate itself. If a chain cannot then it is a dead end and it not fit for survival.
