Many somatic cells are constantly undergoing mitosis. An example would be epithelial cells that are constantly being replaced. The cell cycle can be arrested for certain reasons however. This ceases in the cell cycle, or arrests, are due to failures of the cell in passing check points. These check points will often catch cells that have performed mistakes and have become susceptible to becoming cancerous.
