The cells forming permanent tissue to perform a specific function do not divide. Only meristematic cells have the capability to divide.

Why the skin cells of an adult must divide?

Skin cells of an adult must divide to replace old or damaged cells, maintain skin integrity, and perform repair processes in response to injury or infection. This continuous cell turnover is essential for keeping the skin healthy and functioning properly.


What are some examples cells divide rapidly some not at all after maturity?

Examples of cells that divide rapidly after maturity include skin cells, intestinal cells, and blood cells. Examples of cells that do not divide at all after maturity include neurons and cardiac muscle cells.


Why is mitosis necessary for all living things?

Mitosis is necessary for all living things because it is the process by which cells divide and replicate to produce new cells for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. Without mitosis, organisms would not be able to grow, develop, or replace damaged or worn-out cells. It is essential for maintaining the integrity and function of tissues and organs in multicellular organisms.


Why do cells divide-?

Cells divide because the larger the cell becomes the less efficient it is. So they multiply and younger ones come into being and they are more efficient. So they keep dividing to make more.Cells divide because when your body grows, the cells dont grow with you they divide to make morecaus sometimes they just feel like it...


What type of cell undergoes mitosis?

Mitosis is the form of cell division that most eukaryotic cells undergo. In humans, all somatic (non-sex) cells use mitosis to divide. Sex-cells use meiosis instead of mitosis.

Do skin cells divide?

yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.


When does the cell need to copy the DNA-?

DNA ultimately controls all the cell's functions, so it is necessary to have it in all your cells. Every time your cells divide so that you can grow or repair your body, the DNA needs to duplicate so that it can be in each of your cells.

What cells will not continue to divide skin cell nerve cell epithelial cells lining the cheeks all of these?

Nerve cells typically do not continue to divide once they are fully formed. Unlike skin cells and epithelial cells that undergo continuous division for repair and maintenance, nerve cells have limited regenerative capacity. Once nerve cells are damaged or lost, they are not easily replaced, which contributes to the challenges of nerve regeneration in the body.


Do adult skin cells divide?

yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.


Do all cells divide the same?

No


Do all cells grow and divide?

no

Which is true All cells come from other cells During adulthood the body stops producing cells Organs make all of the cells in an organism Cells depend on the brain to divide?

Out of all of those statements, the only true statement is that all cells come from other cells. Cells do not stop producing themselves once one reaches adulthood and organs do not make cells in the body. Also, cells do not depend on the brain to create more cells.


What type of cells that divide usings mitosis?

all cells except for sex cells


Mitosis is a division of what?

All the cells that divide in your body, except for sex cells, which divide through meiosis, divide by mitosis.
