This would occur through mitosis.

Mitosis is the most common form of cell division in which a single cell divides to produce two new daughter cells that are identical to the parent. Mitosis occurs mainly for growth and to replace older cells. A skin cell which is a type of somatic cell duplicates (produces an exact copy of itself) by the process of mitosis.

Mitosis is the process of cell division that creates a new cell identical to the original. Somatic cells, such as muscles, hair and skin, undergo mitosis regularly in humans and other organisms. Thus, the answer is mitosis.

How are radioactive isotopes used to date rocks? ...?

Stolb23 [73]

Some isotopes, however, decay slowly, and several of these are used as geologic clocks. Dating rocks by these radioactive timekeepers is simple in theory, but the laboratory procedures are complex. All methods rely on the fact that certain elements (particularly uranium and potassium) contain a number of different isotopes whose half-life is exactly known and therefore the relative concentrations of these isotopes within a rock or mineral can measure the age.
