Question

what would happen to skin cells if mitosis did not take place?
skin cells would regrow from other types of cells.
skin cells would be replaced at a slower rate.
skin cells would be replaced with new cells.
skin cells would die and not be replaced.

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process by which skin cells divide and replace old or damaged cells. Without mitosis, skin cells would die and there would be no new cell - division to replace them. Skin cells cannot regrow from other cell types in the normal physiological process. Slower replacement implies some level of mitosis is still occurring, and replacement with new cells requires mitosis.

Answer:

Skin cells would die and not be replaced.
