Answer 1

The law of biogenesis, attributed to Louis Pasteur , is the conclusion that complex living things come only from other living things by reproduction.

The ancient Greeks believed that living things could spontaneously come into being from nonliving matter. Biogenesis is the production of new living organisms or organelles, i.e. life arises from preexisting life.

The ory of Biogenesis states that living organisms can only arise from pre-existing living organisms, rather than from non-living matter. This theory contradicts the earlier idea of spontaneous generation, which suggested that living organisms could arise from non-living materials. The concept of biogenesis was established through various experiments and observations by scientists such as Louis Pasteur, who demonstrated that microorganisms do not spontaneously generate but instead come from other living organisms.
