Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The theory of Biogenesis is based on the idea that life can only come from life, and it refers to any process by which a lifeform can give rise to another lifeform. It is an important theory of biology and molecular genetics, which postulates the production of new living organisms from preexisting life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Theory of Biogenesis In 1858, a scientist named Rudolf Virchow came up with a counter-hypothesis, claiming that life can only come from life. He called his hypothesis, you guessed it, biogenesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biogenesis means making new living things. More specifically, it is the theory that living things only come from other living things through reproduction. Abiogenesis, sometimes called spontaneous generation, means life coming from non-living things.

Detailed explanation-4: -Conceptually, biogenesis is primarily attributed to Louis Pasteur and encompases the belief that complex living things come only from other living things, by means of reproduction. That is, life does not spontaneously arise from non-living material, which was termed the spontaneous generation theory.

Detailed explanation-5: -Biogenesis refers to the process wherein life arises from similar life forms. The principle of biogenesis is opposite to that of spontaneous generation. The person who first came up with the term biogenesis was Henry Charlton Bastian 1837–1915. He proposed to use the term biogenesis in place of spontaneous generation.
