The cell type most likely to put off senescence and terminal differentiation in order to continue replicating for growth and repair would be skin cells. Skin cells (such as keratinocytes) have a high turnover rate and are constantly being replenished to repair the skin barrier and facilitate healing after injury. This need for continuous proliferation makes them less likely to enter senescence compared to cells in tissues that do not have the same regenerative capacity, such as brain or heart cells.
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) Responses skin cells skin cells lung cells lung cells brain cells brain cells heart cells
