Question

Which of the following theories suggests that life originated on earth by combinations of various chemicals through constant chemical reactions over a long period?

  1. Theory of special creation
  2. Theory of chemical evolution
  3. Theory of spontaneous creation
  4. Theory of panspermia

hintHint:

  • Complex organic molecules were made from simple organic molecules .

The correct answer is: Theory of chemical evolution


    • Theory of chemical evolution states that complex organic molecules were made from simple organic compounds by the chemical reactions.
    • The theory was based on the experiment done by Miller and Urey .
    • They made the similar condition as that of early earth by using water, ammonia and hydrogen 
    • On reaction organic molecules were produced 
    • The end products of the reaction was aldehyde and amino acids which are the precursors of nucleic acid.  Hence , complex organic molecules were made from simple molecules by the chemical reactions
