Identify the claim in the passage below:


In 1668, Francesco Redi wanted to know if meat could spontaneously produce maggots as many people thought at the time. Redi believed that the maggots came from flies that lay eggs on the rotting meat. He placed one piece of meat in a jar and covered it with cloth. He left another piece of meat in a jar uncovered. After two weeks, he inspected the meat and found that the one in the covered jar did not have maggots, but the one open to the air did have maggots. Therefore, if maggots were spontaneously being produced by the meat, then meat in both jars would have maggots.
