Answer:
Redi proved spontaneous generation theory by showing that maggots come from meat, not from other flies.
Explanation:
As rightly stated in the options of this question, the theory of Spontaneous generation is a theory that life forms can be generated from non-living or inanimate objects. Several scientists including Needham, Redi, Pasteur contributed to this theory experimentally by either proving or disproving it. Their contribution are as follows:
- John Needham boiled a broth containing living matter but noticed cloudy appearance representing microbial growth. Hence, when microbes grew in Needham's flask of broth, he proposed it was an example of spontaneous generation occurring in microorganisms.
- Francesco Redi, on the contrary, disproved the theory by conducting an experiment using meat. Redi DISPROVED the theory by concluding that flies were responsible for appearance of maggots on the meat. Hence, the statement that "Redi proved spontaneous generation theory by showing that maggots come from meat, not from other flies" is FALSE.
- Loius Pasteur also disproved the theory of spontaneous generation by using swan-necked flasks. His swan-neck flask experiment demonstrated that spontaneous generation does not occur
Various ways traits are inherited from parents to offspring is known as pattern of inheritance.
Explanation:
- Traits follow a particular trend or way by which they pass on to offspring from the parents.
- These modes or ways are termed as Pattern of inheritance.
- There are basically five patterns of inheritance :
a) Autosomal dominant.
b) Autosomal recessive.
c) X-linked dominant.
d) X-linked recessive.
e) Mitochondrial innheritance.
- Each Inheritance pattern has a peculiar character that distinguishes it from the rest of the other patterns.
Prokaryotes taht obtain energy from sunlight are called PHOTOTROPH. These prokaryotes use energy from the sun to synthesize organic compound for food and to carry out other metabolic processes. The energy synthesized from the sun is in form of ATP.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. <span>The element sodium (Na) has an atomic number of 11 with one outer valence electron, this element would likely form an anion since it has one negative charge which is represented by the one valence electron.</span>
