Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Many species of lizards are able to release their tails as a decoy for predators to chase after when in danger. The lizards are able to regenerate a tail later. Which is the BEST statement from the cell theory that explains how the lizard is able to regrow its tail? Lizards eat flies which are used to grow a tail.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell theory states that all living organisms are made up of structural and functional units called cells and new cells can arise only from preexisting cells. The spontaneous generation theory on the other hand, states that living organisms arise from nonliving matter.

Detailed explanation-3: -A cell is the smallest and most basic form of life. Robert Hooke, one of the first scientists to use a light microscope, discovered the cell in 1665. In all life forms, including bacteria, plants, animals, and humans, the cell was defined as the most basic structural and functional unit.

Detailed explanation-4: -This means that cells form the parts or an organism and carry out all of the an organism’s processes, or functions.
