Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Simulation experiments like those performed by Stanley Miller in 1953 demonstrate that many of the organic compounds required for life can form under abiotic conditions. While DNA formation, reproduction, prokaryotic cell formation and membrane formation have been observed in various experiments, they have not been demonstrated conclusively through simulations like those performed by Miller.
