A. the growth and reproduction of unicellular organisms

B.the generation and replacement of cells in multicellular organisms

C. the origin and nature of the very first cells, from which all other cells derive

D. the existence of erythrocytes, neurons, and other cells that do not reproduce

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer C is the answer to your question

Answer 2

The statement which is not accounted for by cell theory is as follows:

• The origin and nature of the very first cells, from which all other cells derive.

Thus, the correct option is C.

What is Cell theory?

Cell theory was proposed by a German botanist M.J. Schleiden and a German zoologist T. Schwann. According to them, the cell theory states that:

• All living organisms whether it is plant or animal is made up of cell.
• A cell is the smallest unit of all living organisms.
• The Cell is the structural and functional unit of organisms.

Later in 1855, the cell theory is further refined by German biologist R. Virchow. According to him, all cells are arising from pre-existing cells.

So, cell theory never illustrates any evidence about the origin and nature of the very first cells, from which all other cells derive.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is C.
