Question

1 point
All cells contain a nucleus.
All cells come from existing cells.
The cell is the basic unit of all living things.
All organisms are made up of one or more cells.

Answer 1

The statement that is not part of the cell theory is:

All cells contain a nucleus.

While all cells do come from existing cells, are the basic unit of life, and all organisms are made up of one or more cells, not all cells contain a nucleus (e.g., prokaryotic cells like bacteria do not have a nucleus).
