Options
A.simple organic molecules can form spontaneously under conditions like those thought to prevail early in the earth's history.
B.the earliest life forms introduced large amounts of oxygen to the atmosphere.
C.life can be created in a test tube.
D.long chains of DNA can form under abiotic conditions.
Solution
Sol.(a) [Key Concept: Miller–Urey Experiment — Abiotic Synthesis of Organic Molecules] In 1953, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey created in the laboratory conditions comparable to those of early Earth (with water vapour, hydrogen, methane, and ammonia). The Miller-Urey apparatus produced a variety of amino acids and other organic compounds found in living organisms today, showing that simple organic molecules can form spontaneously under early Earth conditions.
