Which of the following cell types retains the ability to undergo cell division?

Consider the ability of each cell type to divide: Red blood cells in humans lose their nucleus and organelles during maturation, making them unable to divide. Neurons are typically considered post-mitotic, meaning they do not usually undergo cell division after differentiation. Muscle cells, particularly skeletal muscle cells, are also generally considered to be post-mitotic.

Focus on somatic cells: Somatic cells are any cells forming the body of an organism, excluding germ cells. Most somatic cells retain the ability to divide, especially those involved in growth and repair, such as skin cells and cells lining the gut.
