Raul has scraped his knee and noticed that after a week it had almost completely healed. Raul wondered how the skin was able to repair itself while looking exactly the same as his non-injured skin . In 3-5 sentences explain how mitosis plays a role in healing skin after injury and is able to maintain the look of the existing non-injured skin. In simple terms
Mitosis is the process by which cells divide to create new cells. When Raul gets injured, the cells in his skin go through mitosis to reproduce and replace the damaged cells. This allows the skin to heal. The new cells produced through mitosis are identical to the existing non-injured cells, which is why the healed skin looks the same as before the injury. Essentially, mitosis helps in the regeneration and maintenance of the original skin structure during the healing process.
