DNA is a negatively-charged molecule. Also cell membranes are negatively charged. The problem would be how to push this charges together? I<span>f you put some CaCl2 into the mixture, the CaCl2 will "split" giving 2Cl- and Ca2+. This last ion will be attracted by the negatively charged DNA and will "cover" it, hiding its negative charge. Hope this answers the question.</span>

What were Louis Pasteur's experiments related to spontaneous generation?
Tamiku [17]
Spontaneous generation was a (refuted) theory that some forms of life can arise from inorganic matter. 

Louis Pasteur refuted it in a series of experiments, in which he boiled different matter (grape juice, broth) which would kill all the bacteria and let it stay for a long time to see if it would develop life (he also had a control condition in which he let the boiled liquid interact with the outside words, and those would develop bacterial life).
