Question

Haldane, a Soviet scientist, proposed in 1929 that a combination of carbon dioxide, water, and ammonia, when exposed to ultraviolet light, can form a variety of organic molecules. The conditions modeled by Haldane's experiment simulated the oceans of early Earth. Which hypothesis of the origin of life on primitive Earth is described by Haldane's experiment? A) panspermia hypothesis B) abiogenesis hypothesis C) primordial soup hypothesis D) hydrothermal vent hypothesis

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Primordial Soup

Explanation:

The idea of the primordial soup was originally proposed by Alexander Oparin and John Haldane as a possible explanation for the creation of life on our planet. The theory states that if energy is added to the gases that made up Earth's early atmosphere, the building blocks of life would be created.
