Believers of spontaneous generation could have argued that Redi's results were inconclusive without a control group because there was no way to compare if the sealed jars were truly preventing the generation of maggots. They could have also questioned the validity of his experiment and claimed that other factors might have influenced the outcome, thus casting doubt on the idea that maggots were not spontaneously generated in the open jars.
In a scientific experiment, a control is the part of the experiment that remains constant and is used as a baseline to compare against the experimental group. It helps researchers determine the effect of the variable being tested in the experiment.
The control is what you keep the same through the whole experiment. I'm doing an experiment for a science fair this yer and its: What things can remove permanent marker from fabric. my control would be, the amount of "stuff" i use and the type or marker. hope it helps ♥

When conducting experiments in science, it is important to have a baseline for knowing what happens if an independent variable is not present. In science, this is called the control experiment.
Redi showed the need to limit/control outside variables when he covered 1/2 the jars and got different results than the uncovered.

Believers in spontaneous generation might have argued that Redi's results were inconclusive because he did not account for all possible variables affecting the appearance of maggots in the meat. Without a control group for comparison, they could have claimed that other factors, not just the presence of flies, might have influenced the generation of maggots.
a control is something that stays the same in an experiment
it is called the control of the experiment
control means to take conrol in a science experiment
The control of an experiment is the part of an experiment that does not change, and is strictly used as a comparison to the variable that is being tested.
The standard for comparison in a experiment is known as a control variable. This is useful to any experiment and serves as a reference point used to draw conclusions.
The control is the part of the experiment where it remains constant, and never changes. The control is used so the changing variable in the experiment can be reflected off of the control, so thereby comparing the changing variable with the control (the variable that does not change) in the experiment. Without the control, the experiment is a waste.
A control group is the unaffected group in a science experiment.
a control group assures that an experiment will be repeatable
It was Francesco Redi's experiment. In 1664 Redi wrote his first work Osservazioni intorno alle vipere(Observations about the Viper). Redi is best known for, published in 1668 as Esperienze Intorno alla Generazione degl'Insetti (Experiments on the Generation of Insects).It proved that flies did not spontaneous generate. He put meat in a flask and covered it with cheesecloth so that air could get in but not flies. The other flask was a control and did not have cheesecloth. Only the flask without cheesecloth had flies.
