Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What cells in your body proceed quickly through the cell cycle?
A
Skin cells
B
Hair follicle cells
C
Both skin and hair cells
D
Neither of these two proceed quickly through the cell cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Epithelial and and blood cells are the two of the main types of cells that need to be constantly replaced in developed organisms. As far as I know cells lining the gut epithelium are fastest to divide.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cells that undergo mitosis most rapidly within the body are the cells that receive abrasion daily or are within a chemical environment. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The eukaryotic cell spends most of its “life” in interphase of the cell cycle, which can be subdivided into the three phases, G1, S and G2. Cell division is just one of several stages that a cell goes through during its lifetime.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cells of the bulb divide every 23 to 72 hours, remarkably faster than any other cell in the body. Two sheaths, an inner and outer sheath, surround the follicle. These structures protect and form the growing hair shaft.
