Answer to Question 1

Like all hypotheses, a scientific theory can be disproven by one observation or result that is inconsistent with it.

Therefore, if a scientist discovered a living organism that did not consist of a cell or if they discovered a cell that spontaneously formed on its own, the theory would be disproven.

Answer to Question 2

False
