What kind of cells does division take place in?
if by division you mean mitosis then all cells except sex cells go through mitosis. Sex cells go through meiosis. Mitosis is basically the process of a cell splitting into 2 daughter cells.
When do you use mitosis?

What living cell does not go through mitosis?

What allows cells to reproduce?
in order for cells to reproduce they must go through cell division or in other words mitosis. they go through steps that last a bit of time to reproduce.
What is cell division called in Somatic Cells called?
Somatic cells are the cells that form the body like skin, blood and bones. These type of cells go through the cell division process called mitosis. Gametes, or germline cells, like sperm and ova go a different cell division process called meiosis.
Cell division is basically the same in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
prokaryotes go through binary fission (budding), while eukaryotes go through mitosis
What cells in your body does not go through mitosis?
Most cells do not go through mitosis and are what you call to be in G0 Phase. This is when the cell ONLY does its normal functions and do not try to replicate itself (unless big damage is done to an organ). These cells will go to G1 phase when it is necessary to do cell division.
What kind of cells go through mitosis somatic cells or gametes?
Somatic cells undergo mitosis.
Why do cells need to go through division?
Mitosis is how somatic-or non-reproductive cells-divide. ... In mitosis, the important thing to remember is that the daughter cells each have the same chromosomes and DNA as the parent cell. The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes.
What is mitosis involved in?
Nearly all eukaryotic cells go through mitosis to divide. Being more specific: in humans, somatic (body) cells go through mitosis.
What cells go through mitosis?
nerve cells and sex cells
