Question

Before the discovery of cells, people believed in the theory of spontaneous generation. According to this theory, living things can come from nonliving things. On the basis of this theory, people believed that maggots that formed on cheese spontaneously arose from the cheese. Which two statements disprove this theory of spontaneous generation?

Answer 1

One statement that could disprove this theory is the fact that, according to the cell theory, all cells come from pre-existing cells. This basically means that cells can't just appear from nowhere; they have to come from another cell. Based on what we know today from scientific research, is there another law or statement that you could come up with to help disprove the theory? Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

It is a scientific observation that goes against the theory of spontaneous generation, so the theory must be wrong.
