Question

a friend tells you he read somewhere that rotting garbage can turn into maggots which are fly larvae, and the maggots then can grow into adult flies. what part of the cell theory can you use to refute this claim?

Answer 1

I believe the part of the cell theory you can use to refute his claim is that cells are the smallest unit of life and more importantly that all cells come from other living cells.

Answer 2

Answer:

Francesco Redi  theory

Explanation:

He proved that the spontaneous generation does not exit. If the maggots appear in the rotten garbage is because there were another living thing that flies near the garbage and left their eggs. Because the living things come from another living thing, not appear suddenly.
