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

this theory was discarded by experiments of Redi, spallazani and Louis Pasteur

Most dynamic experiment was that of Louis Pasteur (Swan Neck Experiment)

where he prepared a solution of sugar and killed yeasts and kept them in a swan neck flask and broken neck flask. in the latter, microorganisms could enter hence there was presence of life.
in the former air couldn't enter hence no microorganisms hence no new life
