Question

If a starfish sustains damage to a limb, it often grows a new one. If a human adult sustains damage to his or her spinal cord,
mobility is often impaired. If a gecko loses its tail, it may grow a new one. Which type of cell is less likely to go through the
cell cycle after being damaged starfish limb, human spinal cord, or gecko tail? Support your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The Human spinal cord. The Spinal cord, if fractured or broken, would take a long time to heal and regenerate (if at all, it barely regenerates, leaving it impaired), while the starfish and gecko can just regrow those parts.

I hope this helps!
