Answer:

The option D) 'Every cell has a nucleus that contains genetic material' is not a part of the cell theory.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell theory has three main postulates which are:

  • All living things are made up of a cell or different cells.
  • All cells arise from pre-existing cells
  • Cells are the basic unit of life.

The cell theory does not claim that every cell shall have a nucleus. The prokaryotes lack a nucleus yet still are living things. However, all cells will have genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA.
