Which type of cell do you think would spend more of their life cycle undergoing mitosis, skin or brain? Explain your reasoning.

Expert Solution
Step 1

A cell cycle may be a arrangement of events that takes put in a cell because it develops and partitions. A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and amid this time it developsreproduces its chromosomes, and plans for cell division. The cell at that point clears out interphase, experiences mitosis, and completes its division.

Mitosis is the process in cell division by which the nucleus of the cell divides (in a multiple phase), giving rise to two identical daughter cellsMitosis happens in all eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, and fungi). It is the process of cell renewal and growth in a plant, animal or fungus.
