Question

question 19 of 30 a few unidentified seeds were found in a sealed clay jar during an archaeological dig. radiocarbon dating showed that were 725 years old. when the seeds were planted, plants grew from them. based on cell theory, what statements can confidently be made regarding these unidentified plants and seeds? both the seeds and mature plants are composed of cells. the cells in the seeds are still alive, so they produced new plant cells. molecules in the dead seeds assemble spontaneously into cells. the plants are made of cells, but their seeds do not contain cells.

Explanation:

Cell theory states all living things are made of cells and cells come from pre - existing cells. Seeds grew into plants, so seeds had living cells and both seeds and plants are cell - based.

Answer:

Both the seeds and mature plants are composed of cells.
The cells in the seeds are still alive, so they produced new plant cells.
