Is it you or your DNA that reproduces?
You reproduce, but your DNA replicates. DNA is constantly being copied in your cells - when cells divide, the new cells contain DNA which was synthesized in the original cell. When you reproduce, it is your DNA (genes) which you pass on to your offspring. Without DNA, you would not be able to reproduce. One half of your chromosomes (23 chromosomes) are contained in the gamete (sex cell) that you provide for sexual reproduction. These chromosomes are passed on to your offspring when you reproduce.
What are two activities that are characteristic of cell but not of viruses?
Cells can reproduce without help, cells can not invade other cells, cells have cell membranes and cells have a nucleus
What does cells reproduce?
if your asking how cells reproduce they can usually reproduce asexually[all by themselves].
Do epithelial cells reproduce fast?
Skin cells reproduce faster than other types of cells
What term best describes when cells reproduce by a process?
Cells reproduce by a process called Mitosis

Why is the cell cycle important to the growth of an organism?
It is important in the very fact that cells are the building blocks to life and without new cells being constantly made then the body will die and the creation or duplication of new cells is what occurs in the cell cycle.
Why are youre skin cells continuously undergoing mitosis?
Bacteria is constantly forming on the outer layer of your skin. It is looking for a way to invade your body. Your body reacts by simply throwing away the outer layer of your skin. It does that a cell at a time, but it does it constantly. Those cells must be replaced. To do that, the cells underneath must constantly reproduce and create new skin cells.

Do your brain cells reproduce?
No. Nerve cells do not reproduce.

How do eukaryotes cells reproduce?
Cells can reproduce through mitosis and meiosis.
Where do the new cells reproduce?
the cells reproduce where they are located, and the stratum basale is where the are, next to the stem cells.
What are the processes in which cells reproduce?
Eukaryotic cells reproduce by means of mitosis and cytokinesis.
How often do intestinal cells reproduce?
Intestinal cells reproduce frequently. In the colon the cells reproduce about once every 3 to 4 days. In the small intestine the cells reproduce about once a week.
What two things all cells have?
Cells must have two things: DNA and ribosomes. Without DNA, the cells cannot reproduce. Without ribosomes, proteins cannot be made or sent to other parts of the cell.
Can animal cells reproduce?
They reproduce by dividing.
