Q. What are the three parts of cell theory?
These findings led to the formation of the modern cell theory, which has three main additions: first, that DNA is passed between cells during cell division; second, that the cells of all organisms within a similar species are mostly the same, both structurally and chemically; and finally, that energy flow occurs within …
Q. What is the latest cell theory?
Current Interpretation of Modern Cell Theory All cells come from the division of pre-existing cells. Energy flow – metabolism and biochemistry – happens within cells. Cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA passed on from cell to cell during division.
