No, not all cells are capable of mitotic division in an adult. Certain types of cells, called permanent cells (eg. heart muscle cells and brain cells) can not undergo mitosis in an adult. Another type of cell that cannot undergo mitosis is the mammalian red blood cell - which has no nucleus so cannot divide.

Do all cells undergo mitosis division?

Yes, ALL cells undergo cell division. Because if there were types of cells that don't undergo cell division, these cells' specialization wouldn't be able to grow or be replaced. For example if hair cells didn't undergo cell division; your hair wouldn't be able to grow. NO!! Nerve cells,Red blood cells..they don't undergo cell division.

How many mitotic divisions to get 10 cells?

At least four. First division produces two cells. Second division produces four. Third division produces eight cells. Fourth division produces sixteen cells. If out of these eight cells of third mitotic division only two cells divide further then we will have 10 cells.
