Spontaneous Generation

The idea that life arises from non-life

The idea that only living organisms can produce other living organisms

The idea that inherited features vary among species

Biogenesis

Only living organisms can produce other living organisms

Life arises from non-life

Living organisms can be produced from non-living organisms

Homologous Structures
