Question 3 at the MSE-biology 9 (the origin of life, spontaneous life generation)

in #nature7 years ago

To prove the impossibility of spontaneous generation, the Italian naturalist F. Redi was to

  1. isolate meat from indoor flies
  2. consider pieces of meat under a microscope
  3. constantly remove the larvae from the meat
  4. keep meat warm

In the seventeenth century, Francesco Radi (an Italian natural philosopher, physician and just an intelligent man) conducted the following experiment.
He took a few pots of meat and put them on the table in the room.
Half of the pots he covered with a cloth, half - stood open.
In those that were open to the access of flies, there were larvae - maggots.
In those that were covered with a cloth, worms could not be found.
The conclusion of F.Redi: spontaneous generation can not be spontaneous.

Answer: 1.
