Solution

Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. Schwann and Schleiden, German botanist, gave the "Cell theory". They proposed that all plants and animals are made up of cells.
Cell theory states that all cells come from preexisting cells and perform all the vital function. These cells carry the hereditary information necessary for transmitting it to next generations.
