Answer 1

Skin cells have terminally differentiated.

While some skin cells can enter a state of quiescence or become senescent over time, the primary characteristic of differentiated skin cells, such as keratinocytes, is that they are terminally differentiated, meaning they have specialized functions and no longer divide. Stem cells, on the other hand, are the undifferentiated cells that give rise to these specialized skin cells.
