In their experiment to form a primitive living cell, Urey and Miller set up various flasks with water vapor and the gases CO2, CH4, and H2. One flask also had electrodes to generate spark; another flask had everything but electrodes. Which of the flasks showed presence of coacervates, and why?

only the flask without electrodes because the electricity generated from electrodes would have destroyed the coacervates

Flask which has electrodes to generate spark are those where coacervates can be found !!

As in early primitive Earth the spark is Lighting and without which life would not be possible !!
