Verified by Toppr

  • The theory of panspermia states that protoplasm comes to the Earth's surface from the universe in the form of spores (panspermia) with cosmic dust and evolves into various life forms.
  • This theory was proposed by Richter in 1865. Thus, panspermia are spores.
  • This theory was later rejected.
