In 1953 S. L. Miller created primitive earth conditions in the laboratory and gave experimental evidence for the origin of the first form of life from pre-existing non-living organic molecules. The primitive earth conditions created include:
a. low temperature, volcanic storms, an atmosphere rich in oxygen
b. low temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere
c. high temperature, volcanic storms, non-reducing atmosphere
d. high temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere containing , , etc.
Answer: option (d)
In 1953, S. L. Miller recreated the conditions of primitive Earth in a laboratory setting, providing experimental evidence for the emergence of the first form of life from pre-existing non-living organic molecules. The conditions he simulated included high temperatures, volcanic storms, and a reducing atmosphere containing various gases.
