Answer:

Cells of skin, for instance, have highest mitotic index.

Explanation:

Many cells are capable of dividing rapidly. <u>For example</u>, in plants, the cells near the root tip in the apical meristem divide rapidly to push through the soil because the root cap detects the gravity and direct rapid division and growth of cells near the tip.

If we take muscle, skin, kidney, and lung as examples that are given in real question, <u>skin cells have the highest mitotic index because they need to get replaced most frequently</u>.

Describe the structural organization shared by the cilia and flagella?
arsen [322]

Both flagella and cilia have a common structural arrangement of microtubules referred to as "9 + 2 array."   A single cilium or flagellum is made up of string of nine microtubule doublets that surround a single microtubule doublet in the center.

Flagella are hair-like structures which are usually long and they extend from the plasma membrane. They are used to propel or move an entire cell, for example sperm cell.

Cilia are short  hair-like structures that are used to move entire cells. An example is paramecia. Cilia can also be found lining the outer surface of cells such as those of the respiratory tract where they move trapped particles up toward the nose and mouth.
