Which Cells Typically Have Very Short Cell Cycles on the Order

Question

Which cells typically have very short cell cycles on the order of less than 30 minutes?
A)cells in a cleaving frog embryo
B)cells in mammalian liver tissue
C)mammalian muscle cells
D)both cells in a cleaving frog embryo and mammalian muscle cells
E)nerve cells

Accepted Answer

Cells in a cleaving frog embryo typically have very short cell cycles on the order of less than 30 minutes. This is because rapid cell division is required to support early embryonic development. Mammalian liver tissue and muscle cells have longer cell cycles, ranging from hours to days. Nerve cells do not undergo cell division, and are thus not relevant to this question.
