In the newly engineered cell created by the researchers at the JCVI, what was derived from a previous cell, partially supporting one aspect of cell theory?

Cells can only derive from pre-existing cells.

Explanation:

The cell theory has three major postulates: 1-all organisms are composed of cells, 2-the cells are the basic unit of all living forms, and 3-the cells derive from pre-existing cells. In 2010, the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) designed in the laboratory a synthetic bacterium that is able to auto replicate himself, and thereby supporting the third statement of the cell theory. This bacterium was named as Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0 and its creation represented a milestone in synthetic biology. M. mycoides is a bacterium that has only 473 genes coded by 531,000 bases pairs (bp), this being one of the smallest genomes of all living forms.

the darker peppered moth species were favored due to the fact that the industrial revolution had made all the nearby trees a darker color instead of white.
