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.
