Answer 1

Based on scientific evidence, the most likely way that elements formed amino acids when life was created is **electrical discharge**. This conclusion is supported by experiments such as the Miller-Urey experiment, which demonstrated that amino acids could be synthesized from simple chemical precursors when subjected to electrical discharges, simulating conditions thought to exist on the early Earth.
