Prions are misfolded versions of normal proteins that can cause diseases. So the correct option is D.

<h3>What leads to prion disease? </h3>

A misfolded confirmation of proteins is called Prions. These misfolded proteins can result in harmful functional proteins and cause several diseases.

A prion is the type of protein that usually cause the normal proteins in the brain to fold in an abnormal manner. This results in misfolding of proteins in the brain.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

All living things are made up of one or more cells.

Explanation:

The cell theory is a universal theory proposed by three scientists viz: Theodor Schwann, Mathias Scleiden, and Rudolf Virchow in the year 1838. These three scientists contributed to the cell theory and proposed the following:

1) All living things are composed of one or more cells

2) Cell is the basic and fundamental unit of life

3) New cells arise from pre-existing cells.

However, at an earlier date specifically 1665, an English scientist named Robert Hooke has discovered and coined the term "cells" in his published book by observing a piece of cork under a microscope. This Hooke's discovery of cells from a once living cork best supports the part of the cell theory that states that: All living things are made up of one or more cells.
