Answer:
Francesco Redi disprove the idea of spontaneous generation by the experiment that maggots could not come from the meat.
Explanation:
Francesco Redi is an Italian Physician that disprove the theory of spontaneous generation and explained that life doesnot come from inorganic matter.
Redi setup an experiment to prove that maggots came from the fly eggs. He used control and variable groups to prove his experiment. Meat piece with an uncovered jar is used as an control. The variable group contained meat piece in a jar covered with gauze. Gauze did not allow the flies to enter but air could enter in the jar. Later, Redi found that control group had maggots and explained that maggots only come to life when flies were contacted with meat. The variable group did not contain any maggots as spontaneous generation did not play any role in the development of maggots.
