Answer 1

The correct response is:

Virchow, Redi, and Pasteur

Rudolf Virchow famously stated, "Omnis cellula e cellula," which translates to "all cells come from cells," providing a key piece of evidence in support of the idea that cells arise from preexisting cells. Louis Pasteur conducted experiments that debunked the theory of spontaneous generation, further supporting the idea that life comes from existing life. Francesco Redi's work with decaying meat and maggots also contributed to this understanding.
