b. A scientist discovers a new living organism with cells but no tissues.
c. A scientist discovers a new living organism that has no cells.
d. A scientist discovers a new living organism that has cells that work separately.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. A scientist discovers a new living organism that has no cells.

Explanation:

The cell theory is a widely accepted and globally recognized theory of living things. It was proposed in the 1830's by the collective effort of three scientists namely: Mathias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann and Rudolph Virchow. The cell theory is made up of three components as follows:

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

- The cell is the basic and fundamental unit of life.

- All living cells comes from pre-existing cells.

According to this question, a new evidence that can possibly create a change in the cell theory is if a SCIENTIST DISCOVERS A NEW LIVING ORGANISM THAT HAS NO CELLS because all living organisms have been said to be made up of cells in the cell theory.
