1 Point
In 1953, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey built a model of Earth's early

exposed the gases to an electric current to simulate lightning. The liquid that
condensed during the experiment contained amino acids.
What was the significance of their results?
O A. Miller and Urey proved the theory of spontaneous generation.
B. Miller and Urey proved that all life evolved from a single common
ancestor.
C. Miller and Urey proved that lightning was necessary for life to form
on Earth
O
D. Miller and Urey proved that biological molecules could have
