Describe how spontaneous generation was disapproved and replaced by a new scientific law
Francesco Redi used flies maggots and meet in jars to show that flies did not arise from maggots that spontaneously generated from meat. His experiments challenge to the popular idea of spontaneous generation Louis Pasteur used broth inside of flasks to further disprove spontaneous generation he demonstrated that when dust could not come in contact with the broth in the flasks, no bacteria grew onion broth. His experiments along with readies destroy the old idea of spontaneous generation. The new law that replaced spontaneous generation is the law of biogenesis. This states that living matter can only come from pre-existing living matter.
