Question

question ① which of the following cells are able to go through mitotic cell division? select all that apply ☐ cell lining of the small intestine ☐ skeletal muscles ☐ skin cells ☐ neurons

Explanation:

• Cell lining of the small intestine: These are epithelial cells, which are constantly replaced and undergo mitosis to replenish the lining.
• Skeletal muscles: Mature skeletal muscle cells (myofibers) are multinucleated and do not undergo mitosis, but satellite cells (associated with skeletal muscle) can undergo mitosis for repair. However, the question refers to skeletal muscle cells themselves, so they do not undergo mitotic division.
• Skin cells: Epidermal skin cells (keratinocytes) are constantly dividing to replace dead cells shed from the surface, so they undergo mitosis.
• Neurons: Most mature neurons are post - mitotic, meaning they do not undergo mitotic cell division.

Answer:

A. Cell lining of the small intestine, C. Skin cells
