could anyone explain about urey miller experiment
The Miller Urey Experiment. In the 1950's, biochemists Stanley Miller and Harold Urey, conducted an experiment which demonstrated that several organic compounds could be formed spontaneously by simulating the conditions of Earth's early atmosphere.

could anyone explain about urey miller experiment
S.L.Miller and H.C.Urey performed experiment for evidence of chemical evolution in 1953.
THE EXPERIMENTAL SETUP : In a closed flask containing CH4 ,H2,NH3 and water at 800 degree Celsius ,electric discharge was created.The conditions were similar to those in primitive atmosphere .
OBSERVTIONS: After a week they observed presence of amino acids and complex molecules like sugar,nitrogen bases, pigments and fats in the flask.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. It provide experimental evidences for the theory of chemical origin.
2. It showed that the first non cellular form of life was created about 3 billion years ago.
3. It showed that the non cellular biomolecules exist in the form of DNA, RNA, polysaccharides and proteins.
