Question

Cell arises from pre-existing cell was stated by

• A. Haeckel
• B. Virchow
• C. Hooke
• D. Schleiden

Answer 1

The correct option is B Virchow

Cell theory was postulated by Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden in 1838. It includes the following points-

All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

The cell is the most basic unit of life. The third was added by Rudolf Virchow in 1855, which stated: "Omnis cellula e cellula" which means all cells arise only from pre-existing cells.

Hence B is the correct option.
