The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Urey-Miller Experiment**: The Urey-Miller experiment was designed to test the chemical theory of evolution, which suggests that life originated from non-living materials through chemical processes. 2. **Components of the Primitive Atmosphere**: The experiment aimed to recreate the conditions of the primitive Earth. The gases used in the experiment included hydrogen, ammonia, methane, and water vapor. 3. **Identifying the Mixture**: In the experiment, the gases were mixed in a specific ratio (2:1:2 for methane, ammonia, and hydrogen) along with water vapor. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: The question asks which component was NOT included in the Urey-Miller experiment mixture. The options are: - A) Methane - B) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - C) Hydrogen - D) Water Vapor 5. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **A) Methane**: This was included in the mixture. - **B) Carbon Dioxide (CO2)**: This was NOT included in the mixture. - **C) Hydrogen**: This was included in the mixture. - **D) Water Vapor**: This was included in the mixture. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **B) Carbon Dioxide (CO2)**, as it was the only component not present in the Urey-Miller experiment mixture.
