19) Predict how Pasteur’s conclusions on spontaneous generation with swan flasks would have changed if he worked wit
5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r

h and maintained the flasks in a sterile laminar flow hood.

A) Sterilization of the swan flask solutions would not have been necessary to reject spontaneous generation. If he did st
5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r 5r

erilize the flasks, the spontaneous generation hypothesis would have been supported.
