Question
Part A Use the following information when answering the following question In 1668, Francesco Redi performed a series of experiments on spontaneous generation. He began by putting similar pieces of meat into eight identical jars. Four jars were left open to the air, and four were sealed. He then did the same experiment with one variation: Instead of sealing four of the jars completely, he covered them with gauze (the gauze excluded the flies while allowing the meat to be exposed to air). In both experiments, he monitored the jars and recorded whether or not maggots (young flies) appeared in the meat. What hypothesis was being tested in the initial experiment with open versus sealed jars? Maggots do not arise spontaneously, but from eggs laid by adult flies. O The type of meat used affects the likelihood of spontaneous generation O Spontaneous generation is more likely during the long days of summer. Spontaneous generation can occur only if meat is exposed to air Submit Request AnswerExplanation / Answer
Francesco Redi performed a series of experiments on spontaneous generation. And prove that maggots do not arise spontaneously, but from eggs laid by adult flies.
Maggots are not arise in the jars which are covered by clothe, because flies do not able to contact with meat. While the open jars are visited by flies, and flies make contact with meat piece and after passing of time maggots are visible, because eggs are laid by flies.
And hence the statement 1 is correct answer.
Maggots do not arise spontaneously, but from eggs laid by adult flies.
