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 cells divide to produce new cells. Skin cells constantly undergo mitosis for growth, repair, and replacement. Without mitosis, skin cells would die off and there would be no new cells to replace them. Skin cells do not regrow from other cell - types in normal circumstances. A slower replacement rate implies some level of mitosis is still occurring. And replacement with new cells is a result of mitosis itself.

Answer:

Skin cells would die and not be replaced.
