Detailed explanation-1: -It states that: All living organisms are made up of cells. Cells are the smallest units in a living organism that can perform all the functions of life. Rudolf Virchow in 1858 said “Omnis cellula-e-cellula", which means that all cells arise from the pre-existing cells only.
Detailed explanation-2: -The third part of the cell theory definition states that all cells come from preexisting cells. This means that cells don’t just appear out of thin air (known as “spontaneous generation”). New cells are always made from current cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rudolf Virchow famously stated “Omnis cellula e cellula”… “All cells only arise from pre-existing cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -An overview of the discovery of cell division, mitosis. For centuries people accepted the “spontaneous generation” of life from inanimate matter.
