Zoology - Evolution Question with Solution | TestHub

Spontaneous generation or anomalous generation explains the ordinary formation of living organisms without descent from similar organisms. Typically, the idea was that certain forms such as fleas could arise from inanimate matter such as dust, or that maggots could arise from dead flesh. According to Redi’s experiment, maggots formed only from the egg of flies which swarmed into the open jars and laid their eggs in the meat. The meat remaining sterile in the closed jar disproved spontaneous generation of maggots.
