Solution:
Oparin and Haldane gave the theory of chemical evolution which explained origin of life. This theory was properly explained to explain this concept. Miller and Urey also performed as experiment and thus confirmed the above theory as well. They demonstrated the presence of conditions in the lab which simulate the earth's atmosphere in the beginning. To prove Oparin-Haldane theory mixture of methane, ammonia and hydrogen was used as early atmosphere had these substances due interaction between hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen and hydrogen being most reactive.
