The correct answer to this question is Very few cells reproduce. Cell theory is apart of biology. This theory states that the cells are the building block for all things that live. This includes plants and animals. These animals and plants have more than one cell.

Along with that, the cell theory states that the new cells are only made from existing ones. Another fact that the cell theory states is that organisms have the ability to grow and reproduce because of cell division. The discovery of cells is credited to the English scientist, Robert Hooke. He began the study of cells.

The one that is not a principle of the cell theory is that very few cells reproduce. This is one of the things that cells do. They will always reproduce. Actually, it is crucial that they will reproduce because if they do not reproduce, it will be hard for the different tissues and organs to survive.

There is a need for them to reproduce often so that there are always new cells that will be available and the body will continuously stay healthy. When there are some problems with the different cells of the body, that is the time when some issues may start to come up. For example, people’s immune systems become affected.

The correct answer here is very few cells reproduce. The option of very few cells reproduce is not a principle of cell theory. The discovery of cells is largely attributed to Robert hook, who began the study known as cell biology.

He discovered the cell by studying a piece of cork under the scopes and he was able to see pores. Other notable people that contributed to cell discovery include Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann.

The three-basic principle of cell theory include

1. All cells are produced from preexisting cells.
2. All living things on earth are made up of one or more cells
3. Cells are the basic, functional, and structural unit of life.
