First of all, the difference between MITOSIS and MEIOSIS is simple.

Meiosis is ONLY for the replication of sex cells. Where one cell divides twice to create four gametes (sperm or egg). Each gamete has half the number of chromosomes needed to create a full cell so when they come together, they create one full cell. This allows for Mitosis to happen, creating a new being.

Mitosis is for the replication of body cells, basically everything else that is not a sex cell. One cell divides once with the end result being two complete cells. All bodily tissues are included in this type of cell replication (ie, skin, organs, bone, etc.)

Well this question is hard. A cell that goes through mitosis would be cells like skin cells, and any other somatic cell. You can also be asking of any practical applications of mitosis. Healing is an example of mitosis, growing is an example of mitosis, even cancer is an example of mitosis.

Your cells have to grow, repair themselves and reproduce. Mitosis is the process in which they do this.


There are some cells that can not go through Mitosis In other words an organism can not make any new ones when the cells die Human nerve and muscle cells are examples?

cardiac muscle cells are one example of cells that cant undergo mitosis because they can't stop they're current action (for obvious reasons) so they can never start replication


What is mean by open mitosis and closed mitosis?

Open mitosis occurs in most animal cells where the nuclear envelope breaks down ("opens" before the chromosomes separate. Closed mitosis occurs in some fungi, such as Aspergillusand Saccharomycesspecies, where the chromosomes divide within an intact ("closed") cell nucleus.
