In biology, the strain is a low-level taxonomic rank used in different contexts:
In microbiology, a strain is a part of a bacterial species different from other bacteria of the same species by a minor but identifiable difference. Strains are often created in the laboratory by mutagenesis existing strains or wild-type examples of bacterial species.
In zoology, a strain corresponds to an individual or group of individuals who are at the origin of a line of descendants, sometimes called the holotype, paratypes, etc. A strain is a population of organisms that descends from a single organism or pure isolate culture. Strains of the same species may differ slightly from each other in many respects.
A strain thus consists of a group of organisms of the same species possessing certain differential traits based on their relationship; either they come from the same region, as the same watershed of a river, or they are the fruit of a particular breeding program (exists as a whole interbreeding without introductions from external sources).

Hi, you've asked an Incomplete question. However, I provided a brief about cell theory.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The cell theory basically states that all living things are made of cells and that the cell is <u>the basic unit of life.</u> Robert Hooke, who was a Scientist is known to have originated (coined) the term “cell” in the year 1665.
Basic Facts about Cell theory:
- the basic unit of life is the cell
- all living things have one or more cells.
- already existing cells produce all new cells.
