The statement that is not included in the cell theory is:

d) All cells have a nucleus.

Cell theory states that:

  1. All organisms are made up of at least one cell.
  2. Cells come from pre-existing cells.
  3. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms.

Not all cells have a nucleus, as prokaryotic cells (like bacteria) do not possess a nucleus.
