Question

Evidence used to support spontaneous generation was the observation that foods over time become covered in maggots or fungal and bacterial growth. The inference behind spontaneous generation is that there is no “parent” organism. Write this inference as a hypothesis using an if–then sentence that suggests a way of testing it.

Answer 1

When we write above situation or the inference as a hypothesis. The inference behind spontaneous generation is that there is no “parent” organism.We can write the hypothesis using if-then is that if there is no parent organism, then all on their own time the maggots and other growths can appear on the foods that are spoiled. In scientific investigation we use the five steps process called the scientific method. Observation, research, hypothesis, experiment and conclusion.
