What types of cells undergo mitosis often?
A
hair
B
skin
C
muscles
D
brain
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces cells that are genetically identical with an equal number of chromosomes. Equational division is another name for mitosis. Somatic cells go through mitosis, whereas germ cells go through meiosis, which produces gametes.

Detailed explanation-2: -These cells include skin cells, cells within your cheeks, and stomach cells. Because these cells are within these harsh conditions, it is important that they undergo mitosis often. The process of mitosis is where the parent cell splits into two identical cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis happens in all eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, and fungi). It is the process of cell renewal and growth in a plant, animal or fungus.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hair cycle The first stage is known as anagen during which active mitotic division occurring in the basal matrix of the hair follicle leads to hair growth. This stage is relatively long in areas such as the scalp where hair appears to be continuously growing.

Detailed explanation-5: -Red and white blood cells Red blood cells (RBCs) fall into a somewhat easier category. Mature RBCs do not divide. In fact, because mature RBCs don’t even have a nucleus, these cells really can’t do much of anything other than act as vessels for the hemoglobin with which they are jam-packed.
