Identify the INCORRECT match:

Options

  1. ATheory of special creation - Supernatural power
  2. BCosmozoic theory - Life descended to the earth from the other planet.
  3. CAbiogenesis - Life originated from living material spontaneously
  4. DBiogenesis - Living organism produced from preexisting living form.

Correct answer

C. Abiogenesis - Life originated from living material spontaneously

Step-by-step solution

The theory of special creation states that life was created by a supernatural power.

The cosmozoic theory (panspermia) suggests that life was brought to Earth from other planets or outer space in the form of spores.

Abiogenesis, also known as the theory of spontaneous generation, states that life originated from non-living or decaying matter spontaneously, not from living material. Therefore, this match is incorrect.

Biogenesis states that new living organisms can only arise from pre-existing living organisms.

Answer: Abiogenesis - Life originated from living material spontaneously
