cells are genetically encoded to preform the tasks needed to sustain life and carry out reproduction. so it would depend on what kind of cell.

Can osteoblasts divide?

Yes, they divide, and as they divide, they create bone matrix and collagen fibers. As the osteoblasts become surrounded by the bone matrix, it hardens, enclosing the cells in a lacuna, transforming them into osteocytes. Osteocytes cannot divide.


What produces red blood cells platelets and some white blood cells?

Bone marrow is responsible for producing red blood cells, platelets, and some white blood cells. This spongy tissue is found inside bones and contains stem cells that continuously divide and differentiate to replenish the body's blood cell supply.


Can a mature red blood cell divide?

No, mature red blood cells do not have a nucleus or organelles required for cell division. They are produced in the bone marrow from stem cells but lose their nucleus during development, making them unable to divide.


What cells build bone tissue?

In bone, there are osteoblasts (cells which build bone) and osteoclasts (cells which break down bone). In the bone marrow and spongy bone, there are hematopoietic cells (cells which make blood). Bone is a type of connective tissue that is made of specialized cells that all work together for a common function. Their cellular and extracellular matrix is what makes bone cells so unique.


Bone forming cells?

Bone-forming cells are known as osteoblasts. These cells are responsible for the production and mineralization of bone tissue. Osteoblasts play a crucial role in the bone remodeling process, where old bone is resorbed and new bone is formed.

What cells divide and make new bone cells?

Usually bones cells


Stem cells in human bone marrow divide and differentiate to form various what?

Stem cells in human bone marrow can divide and differentiate to form various types of blood cells, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.


Does bone marrow cell divide through binary fission?

No, bone marrow cells do not divide through binary fission. They typically divide through a process called mitosis, where the cell undergoes orderly division to produce two identical daughter cells. Binary fission is a form of cell division common in prokaryotic cells like bacteria.


Can osteoblasts divide?

What is the reason your body cells need to divide?

Cells divide as the zygote becomes a fetus with growth and development into babies when born, cells also divide with growth after birth into adulthood and to replenish and renew damaged or lost cells.


What human cell undergo constant mitosis?

Labile cells (the kinds of cells that can divide throughout their lifetime) normally do so within the organ they constitute. Some examples of labile cells are skin cells, cells of the gastrointestinal tract, and blood cells; however, blood cells divide in the bone marrow and lymphocytes divide in the lymph nodes. Other kinds of cells in the body are either stable cells (that do not normally divide--this includes nerve cells) and permanent cells (that do not have the ability to divide.)


What produces red blood cells platelets and some white blood cells?

Bone marrow is responsible for producing red blood cells, platelets, and some white blood cells. This spongy tissue is found inside bones and contains stem cells that continuously divide and differentiate to replenish the body's blood cell supply.


What happens to cells at the edge of an injury when a cut in the skin or a break in a bone occurs?

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.


Why do cell need to divide and produce new cells?

In order to replace the cells that are dieing


Which body cell divides more quickly?

Cells in the dermis (skin) divide the fastest. You are always rubbing the top dead layer off and that has to be replaced. An interesting fact: most of the "dust" in your house is skin cells.


Why do bone cells make exact copies of themselves?

When bone cells divide they must produce cells exact copies of themselves.


Can red blood cells divide if blood is lost?

No, red blood cells cannot perform cell division as they do not have a nucleus. They are instead produced in the bone marrow by the division of stem cells.
