Question

These jars show the set-up from Francesco Redi's experiment with meat and maggots. After a few days of sitting out, the covered jar did not have any maggots in it. What is the most likely explanation for this?

Answer 1

Answer:

Francesco Redi's experiment was the first experiment that disproved the theory of sponatenous generation. He explained that life cannot originate from the inorganic or non living matter.

He placed the two maggots in two different jars. The one jar is uncovered and contains meats in which maggots appear. The another jar is covered and no maggots appear on meat. This explains that maggots flies eggs are not formed in the covered jar as eggs are not available for the life. Maggots do not originate from the meat.Life originate from the pre existing life.
