Question
Chapter 4.2, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The present conditions on the earth that would impede the explanation of the origin of life by Miller and Urey experiment.
Introduction:
The origin of life theories ranges from spontaneous generation to nonspontaneous generation. The major theory of nonspontaneous generation includes the Miller and Urey experiment. The conditions taken into consideration for this experiment is a reductive environment which contrasts with the oxidizing environment present on the earth, today.
