What type of cells in the body perform mitosis?

Most cells in the body are capable of undergoing mitosis, with exceptions such as mature red blood cells and certain brain cells that are terminally differentiated and do not divide. Skin cells, gut cells, and immune cells are examples of cells that regularly undergo mitosis for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues.


Mitosis is to body cells as meiosis is to?

Germ cells. Somatic cells perform mitosis to get genetically identical daughter cells, and germ cells perform meiosis to get genetically different cells. In gametophytes, it's known as generative cells.


Which would a liver cell perform- mitosis or meiosis?

A liver cell would perform mitosis, not meiosis. Mitosis is the process by which somatic (body) cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, which is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues. Meiosis, on the other hand, occurs only in germ cells to produce gametes (sperm and eggs) and involves two rounds of division, resulting in four genetically diverse cells.


Does bacteria perform mitosis?

No, bacteria do not perform mitosis. They reproduce through a process called binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells, not in prokaryotic cells like bacteria.
