Cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of all living organisms. This statement can be best justified by the fact that:
| 1. | The cells contain nucleic acids that contain genetic information |
| 2. | A large number of organelles present in the cell perform various functions |
| 3. | Anything less than a complete structure of a cell does not ensure independent living |
| 4. | All multi-cellular organisms begin their life as a single celled zygote |
