Question
**Question:** Skeletal muscle fibers regularly divide by mitosis. - ○ True - ○ False **Explanation:** Muscle fibers are specialized cells within the muscle tissue. Skeletal muscle fibers, specifically, are known for their unique structure and function. Unlike many other cell types in the body, skeletal muscle fibers do not regularly undergo mitosis. Instead, they grow and repair mainly through the help of satellite cells, which are a type of stem cell. These satellite cells can undergo mitosis to assist in muscle repair and growth, but the mature muscle fibers themselves typically do not divide. Therefore, the statement "Skeletal muscle fibers regularly divide by mitosis" is false.
