I believe this kind of rapid growth is what characterizes tumor cells. Ideally, the body's immune system recognizes the rapidly growing cells and causes them to undergo protrammed cell death. However, if the cells have somehow developed a resistance to apoptosis, they'll just keep growing...

Why is it so important that cells divide correctly?
Cells must divide correctly to maintain tissue structure and function. Mistakes in cell division can lead to genetic mutations, DNA damage, and cell dysfunction, which can in turn cause diseases such as cancer. Proper cell division also ensures that new cells are produced to replace old or damaged cells, allowing for growth and tissue repair.
What would happen if mitosis takes place at rate faster thn normal?
That may be cancer. Cancer cells divide very fast and not in the right way. So if cells divide fast, mistakes may happen, and cancer occurs. Of course, I and many others think that's very sad for those who have cancer.
What are three 7th grade reasons cells divide?
cells divide because of: -growth -development -repair
What is it called with the cell divide to create new cells is called?
It is called mitosis when regular cells divide. It is called meiosis when sex cells divide.
When cells are stimulated to divide what happens?
They divide.

When we grow do our cells grow or divide?
Cells divide.
Do skin cells divide?
yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.
Why do cells divide for replacement?
This is genetically determined. Genes act in very complex manner to keep the number of cells and size of the organ. How this happen is largely beyond the comprehension.
Why do divide?
There are numerous reasons why cells divide. If someone skins their leg, for example, cells will divide for the purpose of replacing cells that have been damaged.
Is it important for cells to divide?
If cells do not divide properly, then many problems can occur, cancer cells for example.
What are three 7th grade reasons cells divide?
cells divide because of: -growth -development -repair
Which type of cells do not divide?
Nerve cells, also known as neurons, do not divide.

They divide.
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.
