No, just because they are all your cells, doesn't mean they do. Each cell has a certain purpose to why they divide. For instance, a when a skin cell dies, another skin cell will duplicate to take its place. Not all cells though divide when needed. Most of the time, the cells duplicate randomly to get ready for an offspring. Remember only half of your chromosomes are past down. So if a cell duplicates, it speeds up the process a lot faster.

'tis true, my friend. if it weren't true, then a blood cell would be no different from a skin cell, which would be the same as an eye cell, which would be the same as a liver cell. different types of cells allow for organisms like animals to be multicellular and have organs that perform many types of functions.

They don't reproduce at the same rate because some get damaged at different times then the other cells
