Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A chemical experiment that simulated the conditions through to be present on the early Earth, and tested the chemical origin of life under those conditions
A
Redi’s experiment
B
Pastures Experiment
C
Miller-Urey Experiment
D
Hardy Weinberg Effect
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Miller–Urey experiment (or Miller experiment) is a famous chemistry experiment that simulated the conditions thought at the time (1952) to be present in the atmosphere of the early, prebiotic Earth, in order to test the hypothesis of the chemical origin of life under those conditions.

Detailed explanation-2: -February 1953 In 1953, scientist Stanley Miller performed an experiment that may explain what occurred on primitive Earth billions of years ago. He sent an electrical charge through a flask of a chemical solution of methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water. This created organic compounds including amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Miller-Urey experiment was a simulation of conditions on the early Earth testing the idea that life, or more specifically organic molecules, could have formed by nothing more than simple chemical reactions.
