The cell type that would be most likely to put off senescence and terminal differentiation in order to continue replicating for growth and repair would be skin cells. Skin cells are part of a tissue that experiences constant turnover and repair due to factors such as external damage from the environment, making their ability to proliferate essential for maintaining skin integrity and function. In contrast, heart cells (cardiomyocytes) have limited regenerative capacity and exit the cell cycle more readily, while lung cells may also have varying rates of turnover depending on specific circumstances.
Some differentiated cells become senescent almost immediately, leaving the cell cycle and undergoing terminal differentiation. Other cells have a high need to proliferate in order to grow and repair the organ or tissue, so they do not enter senescence for a long period of time. Which cell type would be most likely to put off senescence and terminal differentiation so it could continue to replicate in order to grow and repair?(1 point)
