Answer 2

The work of Schleiden and Schwann provided to the Cell Theory the conclusions relating to that all living things are made of one or more cells and the cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthias Schleiden was a German botanist who in 1937, while studying plant tissue under the microscope, observed that all plants are made up of cells.

In 1938, physiologist Theodor Schwann performed an experiment similar to Schleiden's, but using animal tissue, concluding that animals are made up of cells.

By bringing together the findings of both scientists, two important conclusions for Cell Theory were reached:

1. The cell is the structural and functional unit of all living beings.
2. All living organisms are made up of one or more cells.

Both conclusions are part of the cellular theory, as it is known today.

Regarding other options:

B. All cells come from other living cells was a conclusion provided by Rudolf Virchow.

C. Cells contain genetic material that consists of DNA is an argument that is not part of the cellular theory. In fact, the DNA would not be discovered until 1953.
