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.


Do all cells go through mitosis?

No, not all cells go through mitosis. Mitosis is a form of cell division that occurs in somatic cells to produce two identical daughter cells. However, cells such as sex cells (sperm and egg cells) go through a different type of cell division called meiosis.


When do you use mitosis?

All cells in your body are constantly going through mitosis. Mitosis is the division of cells to make an exact replica of itself. Mainly your cells go through mitosis if a cell dies or gets injured.


Which cells do not go through mitosis?

The cells that do not go through mitosis are sex cells, also known as gametes. These cells undergo a different type of cell division called meiosis to produce eggs and sperm.


What living cell does not go through mitosis?

1st answer) i think all cells go through mitosis the process of cell division 2nd answer) Mostly all cells go through mitosis, but sex or reproductive cells go through meiosis instead.


Which type of cells go through mitosis?

Somatic cells, also known as body cells, go through mitosis.


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.


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.


Cell division is basically the same in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

prokaryotes go through binary fission (budding), while eukaryotes go through mitosis


What kind of cells go through mitosis somatic cells or gametes?

Somatic cells undergo 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 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.
