using the spontaneous generation theory select 1 of the following statements that corresponds to the theory?

Question

you want to refute or support.
1) frogs come from muddy soil because they always appear in that environment
2) Flies come from rotten meat because they always appear where there is meat rotting

Answer 1

You could pick either 1 or 2 to refute or support. If you are supporting spontaneous generation, which it looks like you are being asked to do:

1. Rotten meat always has flies around it.
2. Meat doesn't have flies in it.
3. After a few days, fly larvae are seen crawling around on the rotting meat.
4. The flies must have sprung up spontaneously from the meat.

You can use similar reasoning to support spontaneous generation in example 1.
