In their experiment to form a primitive living cell, Urey and Miller set up various flasks with water vapor and the gases CO @, CH $, and H @. One flask also had electrodes to generate spark; another flask had everything but electrodes. Which of the flasks showed presence of coacervates, and why?

The correct answer should be A.only the flask with the electrodes because the electrodes were a source of electricity that simulated lighting.
According to their experiment, only the flask with the electrodes could show presence of coacervates because it needed an energy source in order to fully simulate earth's early atmosphere.
