The correct response is:

No, the student is not correct because all cells come from preexisting cells.

Cell theory states that (1) all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, (2) the cell is the basic unit of life, and (3) all cells arise from preexisting cells, which contradicts the student's claim that cells are created spontaneously.
