Correct Answer: Rudolf Virchow
Solution : The correct answer is Rudolf Virchow.
The first explanation of how cells divide and create new cells from pre-existing cells (omnis cellula-e cellula) was provided by Rudolf Virchow in 1985. He made changes to Schleiden and Schwann's hypothesis to give cell theory its final form. Every living thing is made up of cells and cell products. Every cell originates from a pre-existing cell.
