Answer 1

It's A , he concluded all cells come from pre existing cells . ☺️

Answer 2

A: He concluded that all cells come from preexisting cells

Step-by-step explanation:

The modern cell theory has 3 parts;

• All living organisms (be it plant, protozoa, fungi, monera or animal) are made of cells.
• The cell is the building block or basic unit of life.
• Cells arose from pre-existing cells and not spontaneously as earlier claimed by some people.

The development of the cell theory has the contributions of several scientists but the most noticeable among them are Matthias Scheleiden, Theodore Schwann and Rudolf Virchow.

Rudolf Virchow specifically built on the work of other scientists such as Theodore Schwann and Robert Remak to disprove the theory of spontaneous generation and propound the theory of cells arising from preexisting cells.

The correct answer is A
