Robert Koch didn't create the germ theory. It was Louis Pasteur. However, Robert Koch discovered a way to stain the germs making it easy for him to see them. Doing this he discovered the Anthrax germ. They knew this because they used microscopes.

What French chemist supplied proof for the theory of biogenesis?

Louis Pasteur is the name of the French chemist who supplied proof for the theory of biogenesis. The theory in question observes that life comes from life by way of reproduction. Experiments by the French-born chemist and microbiologist in question (December 27, 1822 - September 28, 1895) still serve as refutation of the theory of spontaneous generation.


Who was supplied proof for virchow's biogenesis?

Louis Pasteur provided experimental proof for Virchow's biogenesis theory by conducting experiments that showed that living organisms only arise from pre-existing living organisms, refuting the theory of spontaneous generation. His swan-neck flask experiment demonstrated that microorganisms in the air did not spontaneously generate in sterile broth, supporting the idea that living organisms come from other living organisms.


How did the germ theory of disease get its name?

While Pasteur was not the first to propose germ theory (Girolamo Fracastoro, Agostino Bassi, Friedrich Henle and others had suggested it earlier), he developed it and conducted experiments that clearly indicated its correctness and managed to convince most of Europe it was true. Today he is often regarded as the father of germ theory and bacteriology, together with Robert Koch.


What is the proof for Darwin's theory of undirected mutation and incremental change over other theories of evolution - punctuated equilibrium?

Punctuated equilibrium is not ' a theory of evolution ' but well ensconced within modern evolutionary theory. Scientists look for evidence, not proof. The evidence suggests that punctuated equilibrium and incremental change are not mutually exclusive and both can occur in nature.


Why is the endosymbiotic theory not proved yet?

The endosymbiotic theory is widely accepted as a strong scientific hypothesis; however, definitive proof is challenging due to the lack of direct observational evidence from billions of years ago when the theorized events occurred. While there is substantial supporting evidence, such as the similarities between organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts with free-living bacteria, the theory cannot be definitively proven beyond any doubt.
