Do eukaryotic cells undergo mitosis?

Your cells die frequently. In order to replenish this loss, cells must replicate themselves.


Why does your body go through mitosis?

Your body does not go through mitosis, but rather your cells do. The cells in your body go through mitosis to reproduce. This is how non-sex cells, or somatic cells make more of themselves. Sex cells do not go through mitosis, but instead go through meosis.
