Introduction: Evidence indicates that a sequence of chemical events preceded the origin of life on Earth and that life has evolved continuously over time. There are many theories that attempted to explain the origin of life. One of the oldest ideas about origin of life is spontaneous generation. It states that life arises from nonliving matter. Redi and Pasteur tested and disproved the idea of spontaneous generation.
Answer to Problem 1STP
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option C. rotten meat in covered jars and uncovered jars
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option C. rotten meat in covered jars and uncovered jars- Redi investigated and tested the idea of spontaneous generation in 1668. He kept rotten meat in covered jars and uncovered jars. He tested on flies and found that flies- not meat- produced other flies. He observed that maggots appeared only in flasks that were open to flies and closed flasks did not have any flies and maggots. He hypothesized that maggots and flies did not arise spontaneously from rotting meat.
Hence this is the correct option.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option A. a flask filled with all the chemicals present on early Earth − Miller- Urey’s experiment had a flask filled with all the chemicals present on early Earth. Hence this is not the correct option.
Option B. mice sealed in jars with lit candles and jars with unlit candles- This set- up was not used by Francesco Redi to test the idea of spontaneous generation. Hence this is not the correct option.
Option D. special flasks that were filled with broth − Pasteur’s experiment consisted of special flasks that were filled with broth.
Hence this is not the correct option.

It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?arrow_forward
