Theres a lot of other factors, but to be very reductionist: in theory yes.
It depends on how accurately the environment was simulated, which includes things such as gravity, protection from cosmic rays(or lack thereof), potentially magnetic fields, light spectrum, etc. It’s very difficult to replicate all environmental factors in a lab.
But the biggest concern is that I doubt they have access to a food/energy supply, unless they are photosynthetic, and even that requires things such as oxygen and water which you would be hard pressed to find in a usable form of Mars.
Also, the soil contains perchlorates which are very bad for life as we know it.
