More than half, in fact nearly all the cells in your body that divide (some don't, such as brain and nerve cells) do so through mitosis. The only exception are sex cells, sperm and egg, and when fertilized these divide to create embryonic cells through meiosis, a more complicated and lengthy process.
What else can I help you with?
Cell division of body cells is called?
Mitosis
What type of cells undergo mitosis in the process of cell division?
Somatic cells, which are the body's non-reproductive cells, undergo mitosis during cell division.
Mitosis is a division of what?
All the cells that divide in your body, except for sex cells, which divide through meiosis, divide by mitosis.
What type of cell division occurs in all cells of an organism 's body except in the reproductive cells?
mitosis.. it helps in somatic cell divisions..
What is the cell division of body cells where an identical cell is formed?
The cell division of body cells where an identical cell is formed is called mitosis. During mitosis, a parent cell divides to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. This process is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues in multicellular organisms.
What is the difference between cells produced by mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis reproduces somatic cells, meiosis reproduces sex cells. Mitosis- Cell division involving body cells. Divides once. Meiosis- Cell division involving sex cells. Divides twice.
In eukaryotes the process of cell division is called mitosis?
Somatic, or body cells
What kind of cells reproduce by mitosis?
Somatic cells, which make up the majority of cells in the human body, reproduce through mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
What are characteristics of mitosis and not meiosis?
In mitosis, cell division creates two diploid cells, while in meiosis, cell division creates two haploid cells. In metaphase of mitosis, a pair of chromosomes meet in the middle of the cell. during anaphase, the pair seperates. In meiosis, the chromosomes line up individualy in metaphase and separate in anaphase. Mitosis is cell division for all cells in the body except gamete cells. Meiosis is cell division for gamete cells.
What is the scientific name for cell division?
Mitosis is a cell division which takes place in normal body cells. Mitosis produces daughter cells which are identical to the original cell. Body cells all have the same genetic information due to Mitosis. Body cells that are produced during Mitosis all need the same genetic information so that they can do the same job as the original cell. Before the cell can divide it must make new copies of the chromosomes in its nucleus. This allows for cells that are produced to have identical genetic information. Two daughter cells are formed. Mitosis is asexual cell division.
What is the division of a body cell?
Mitosis is the term for division of a body cell.
What process of cell division produces an exact replica of the cell?
Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells. You can remember that the form of cell division that produces two identical cells has a plus sign in it...the "t." Then you can remember that you get one cell plus another just like it.
