Skin cells, hair follicle cells, intestinal wall cells, etc.
Explanation:
Skin cells need to divide as you grow. Hair follicle cells divide to produce more hair. Your lining cells (ex: stomach) and intestinal wall cells need to divide to provide new surfaces.
Some cells like blood cells, nerve cells, and muscle cells do not divide after some time. They enter a state during mitosis known as G0 (g-zero), which is identified sometime during interphase of mitosis.
