Most cellular structures have a finite lifetime, and the cell will eventually die. Just as plant and animal species must bear offspring, new cells will be needed to perform the tasks of their predecessors. Simple organisms reproduce by division, creating a new young cell long before the first one wears out. In high organisms, specialized cells are created by certain tissues, such as the bone marrow, and do not divide once formed. Other cells are so rudimentary and sturdy that they live a very long time, such as the nerve cells in the brain.

Chromatin coils and condenses to form deeply staining bodies?
Chromatin coils and condenses to form deeply-staining bodies in prophase. This is the first stage of mitosis, the process in which cells divide to create new cells.
What happens to skin cells when they are injured?
When a person breaks a bone or has a cut, the cells at the edge of the injury are stimulated to divide rapidly. The new cells that form begin to heal the break or cut. As it heals, the cells stop dividing and growing.
What was Virchow's contribution to the cell theory?
" all cells arise from cells". This means cells reproduce by cells. He also hypothesized that cells divide to form new cells. He also proposed that every cell came from a cell that already existed. His observations and conclusions and those of others are summarized in the cell theory.

Why do cells divide as an organism grows?
So that old or damaged cells can be replaced, and that new cells can form, which increases the size and strength of an organism.
