Question:
Are there any exceptions to cell theory proposed by Schleiden & Schwann and Virchow? If yes, what are those?
Answer:
Yes there are exceptions to cell theory. These are:
- Cell theory do not explain nature of Virus. They become live and multiply though they are made up of non-living material.
- How come the first living cell originated or how life began on the earth. (Scientists J.B.S. Haldane, Stanley L. Miller and Harold C. Urey did experiments to on this.).
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own genetic material and can reproduce independently.
