Explanation:

The original cell - theory had three main points: all living organisms are made of cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and all cells come from pre - existing cells. The modern cell theory has expanded on this. The idea that cells contain hereditary information passed during cell division and that all cells are similar in structure and function and perform similar metabolic activities are part of the modern cell theory but not the original. Living cells cannot be created from dead cells as per cell theory.

Answer:

All cells are similar in structure and function.
Cell contains hereditary information that is passed from cell to cell during cell division.
All cells perform similar metabolic activities.
