Multiple Choice

Cell theory is a result of the contributions of several different scientists, and applies to all living things. Which of the following explains why cell theory will not ever become the law of cells?

• Cells of different organisms are so diverse that it is impossible to come up with a law that would apply to all of them.

• Because cells undergo change as mutations occur within them, developing anything beyond a cell theory would be impractical.

• Scientific theories are well-tested explanations, while laws are well-tested descriptions of natural phenomena; one cannot become the other.

• Scientific theories can only become laws if all possible cases can be tested; it would be impossible to test all living things to see if they have cells.
