Who took credit for the conclusion that all cells come from preexisting cells by borrowing the work of another scientist and publishing it as their own?
A
Robert Remak
B
Rudolf Virchow
C
Robert Hooke
D
No of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The third part, which asserts that cells come from preexisting cells that have multiplied, was described by Rudolf Virchow in 1858, when he stated omnis cellula e cellula (all cells come from cells).

Detailed explanation-2: -Virchow’s theory stated that just as animals are unable to arise without previously existing animals, cells are unable to arise without previously existing cells. The idea that new cells arose from pre-existing cells in both diseased and healthy tissue was not original.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer:-Cells arise from the pre-existing cells was stated by Rudolf Virchow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rudolph Virchow (1821-1902) was a German physician, anthropologist, politician and social reformer, but he is best known as the founder of the field of cellular pathology. He stressed that most of the diseases of mankind could be understood in terms of the dysfunction of cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Credit for developing cell theory is usually given to three scientists: Theodor Schwann, Matthias Jakob Schleiden, and Rudolf Virchow. In 1839, Schwann and Schleiden suggested that cells were the basic unit of life. Their theory accepted the first two tenets of modern cell theory (see next section, below).
