Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The evidence for the origin of life inanimate matter, was provided through an experiment, conducted in 1953, by Stanly L. Miller and Harold C. Urey. In experment, they methane and hydrogen sulphide, but no oxygen, over water, This was similar to atmosphere that thought to exist on early earth. This was maintained at a temperture just below `100^(@)C` and speaks were passed through the mixture of gases to simulate lightning. At the end of a week, 15% of the carbon form methane, had been converted to dimple compounds of carbon from methane, had been converted to simple compunds of carbon including amino acids which make up protein molecules and support including amino acids which make up protain molecules and support the life in basic from. Thus, amply suggesting that like narse afresh on earth.
