Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Theory of biogenesis According to this theory, life originated from pre-existing life (Omne vivum vivo). Living beings are neither produced spontaneously nor created. This theory was developed by Francesco Redi (1621-1697), which was subsequently supported by many scientists, including Spallanzani (1729-1799) and Louis Pasteur (1822-1895). It does not explain the origin of life.
