A student left a piece of meat uncovered on a kitchen counter overnight. In the morning, he saw that little organisms were crawl
ing on the meat. He concluded that conditions were right for these organisms to spontaneously come to life on the meat. Explain why the student's conclusion was wrong.
What this student thought was happening is called spontaneous generation. Spontaneous generation is a body of thought on the ordinary formation of living organisms without descent from similar organisms
HOWEVER, the student was wrong because it is impossible for organisms to be spawned out of nothing. The organisms appeared due to bacteria on the meat and in the air.
