Question

in the miller - urey experiment, scientists modeled the origin of life by using water vapor, gases, heat and electricity to form amino acids. what does this possibly demonstrate? (sc 912.l.15.8)
a. it demonstrated that rna was the first genetic coding system in early earth
b. it supported the theory of biogenesis
c. it is possible for organic molecules to form from inorganic molecules
d. it was proven that spontaneous generation is possible

Explanation:

The Miller - Urey experiment used simple inorganic substances like water vapor, gases, heat, and electricity to form amino acids (organic molecules). It showed that organic molecules could arise from inorganic ones under early - Earth conditions. Biogenesis is the production of life from pre - existing life, which this experiment didn't support. It didn't prove RNA was the first genetic coding system. Also, spontaneous generation has been disproven, and this experiment didn't prove it.

Answer:

C. It is possible for organic molecules to form from inorganic molecules
