Louis Pasteur's experiments, if you recall, proved that life can arise from only pre-existing life. Can we correct this as life evolves from pre-esistent life or otherwise we will never answer the question as to how the first forms of life arose ? Comment.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Though Louis Pasteur.s experiment proved the biogenesis i.e. omne vivum ex vivo but the theory of biogenesis did not explain about the mode of formation of first life form. So origin of life can be stated as abiogenesis first but biogenesis ever since.
