Answer:

The correct answer is - epithelial cells or skin cells have a rapid mitosis rate.

Explanation:

The epithelial cells are the cells that composed the outer layer of the skin of the body. These cells are continuously shed from the body and the next cell takes place of those cells. These skin cells are composed of the mitosis type of division, however, it is more of the rapid mitosis in the skin cells as skin cells die more rapid than those of other cells.

Thus, the correct answer is - epithelial cells or skin cells have a rapid mitosis rate.
