Question

How do skin cells replace itself after an injury?

a) skin cells go through the process of budding to make new identical cells.
b) skin cells go through the procces of mitosis to make new identical cells.
c) skin cells go through the process og photosynthesis to make new identical cells.
d) skin cells go through the process of cellular respiration to make new identical cells.

Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:

as a result of accumulation of waste products in the body , these substances are removed from the body via the skin hence they undergo cellular respiration

Answer 2

b) skin cells go through the process of mitosis to make new identical cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The skin is the largest organ in the human body; it forms a protective barrier that keeps out external pathogens, and is integral to waste removal. When the organ is injured, damaged cells initiate an immune response, while healthy cells nearby begin to replicate.

This type of cell replication involves somatic cells and results in the diploid number of chromosomes called mitosis. Skin cells are somatic- they contain all 24 pairs of human chromosomes. During replication, the chromosomes are unwound, and copied- then, the newly copied chromosomes separate into two identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number.
