You perform an experiment in which you place a piece of chicken inside a mason jar that is completely covered. You also put a piece of chicken in one jar that is left uncovered. When you come back after 5 days, only the jar that was left uncovered has maggots (fly larvae) on it. What is the most likely explanation of this?

Maggots in the covered jar became adult flies and left before you came to check.

Maggots are made of cells, and in order for them to exist, another cell had to be there before (fly eggs).

The maggots in the uncovered chicken were produced by the chicken cells.
