Cells that reproduce constantly without stopping are known as "immortal" cells. These cells can divide indefinitely due to mechanisms such as the activation of telomerase, which maintains telomere length, allowing them to bypass the normal limits of cell division. Examples include cancer cells and certain stem cells, which can proliferate continuously under specific conditions. These characteristics make them valuable for research and therapeutic applications, but also pose challenges in cancer treatment.

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.

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.
