Why couldn't life have originated on any of the Jovian planets?

What will be an ideal response?


Jovian planets do not have solid surfaces for water droplets to create organic rich oceans, and the strong atmospheric currents would quickly carry away any reproducing molecules into the hot, inhospitable regions of each respective planet.
