Mitosis occurs in what type of cells?
A
Somatic cells
B
Bacterial cells
C
Prokaryotic cells
D
Gametes
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
Recognize that mitosis is a characteristic of eukaryotic cells, which have a defined nucleus and organelles.
Identify the types of cells in eukaryotic organisms: somatic cells and gametes. Somatic cells are all body cells except for the reproductive cells.
Recall that gametes (sperm and egg cells) are produced through a different process called meiosis, not mitosis.
Conclude that mitosis occurs in somatic cells, as it is responsible for growth, repair, and maintenance in multicellular organisms.
