Solution
The correct option is A Glutamic acid
- The Miller-Urey experiment was an experiment done in 1953 in order to test what kind of environment would be needed for life to begin on earth. The experiment used water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen which were believed to represent the major components of the early earth's atmosphere.
- A large number of simple organic compounds including amino acids are formed such as alanine, glycine, and aspartic acid. However, glutamic acid is not formed.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
