Definitions from the Web

Term: Biogenesis

Definition:

Biogenesis refers to the theory or idea that living organisms can only arise from other living organisms, rather than from inanimate matter.

In biology, biogenesis is a fundamental concept that explains the origin, development, and reproduction of living things.

Biogenesis is supported by the principle that every living organism is composed of cells, which are formed by the division of preexisting cells.

Sample Sentences:

  • The theory of biogenesis opposes the belief in spontaneous generation, which suggests that life can arise from non-living materials.
  • Recent scientific evidence strongly supports the concept of biogenesis, demonstrating that life on Earth originated from ancestral microorganisms.
  • Studying the process of cell division is crucial to understanding the principles of biogenesis.
