Question

which choice best summarizes the outcome of redis experiment?
redi precisely defined the word living.
redi disproved spontaneous generation.
redi showed that flies come from rotting meat.
redi showed that living things can come from nonliving things.

Explanation:

Redi's experiment involved placing meat in jars, some open (flies laid eggs on meat, maggots formed) and some covered (no maggots as flies couldn't lay eggs). This demonstrated that life (maggots) didn't arise spontaneously from non - living meat (refuting spontaneous generation). He didn't define "living" precisely. Flies don't come from rotting meat (flies lay eggs on meat). And his experiment showed the opposite of living things coming from non - living things.

Answer:

Redi disproved spontaneous generation.
