The following is an explanation of how Redi disproved the idea of spontaneous generation:
- Redi kept the food in two different jars and covered one of them, while kept the other open.
- The jar that was open attracted flies and soon exhibited the development of maggots.
- On the other hand, the jar that was covered did not attract any flies and there was no formation of maggots on the food in the covered jar.
- Hence, Redi proposed that spontaneous generation of maggots is not true as the cells for the generation of maggots were carried by flies and introduced to the food.
