Answer:
<em>The option D) 'Every cell has a nucleus that contains genetic material' is not a part of the cell theory.</em>
Explanation:
The cell theory has three main postulates which are:
- All living things are made up of a cell or different cells.
- All cells arise from pre-existing cells
- Cells are the basic unit of life.
The cell theory does not claim that every cell shall have a nucleus. The prokaryotes lack a nucleus yet still are living things. However, all cells will have genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA.
