Although it varies depending on a cell (some cells never undergo mitosis), a typical cell goes through mitosis when all its organelles have been replicated, its size doubled, and its DNA copied. When all this is finished, the cell condenses its DNA and begins prophase, the first phase of mitosis.
A typical cell is in mitosis only about 10% of the times, because the rest of 90% the cell is in interphase, where it goes through normal cell functions instead of dividing.

Where in your body does mitosis occur most often?
mitosis occurs most often in the skin where cells die frequently and blood since red blood cells die everyday. Areas such as the brain where cells last way longer and don't get damaged is where mitosis occurs the least
What role does mitosis play in the formation of a tumor?
Mitosis regards the division and multiplication of cells. A tumor is the uncontrolled mitosis and often dangerous massing and spreading (malignancy) of mutated cells. Tumors can be benign or cancerous, and can only be diagnosed through medical pathology.
How is aging related to mitosis?
Mitosis is a form of cell division. Cancer is a mutation in cell division, generally in such a way that cell divide too often and are unregulated and end up developing a mass. Those cells also carry the mutation and those cells divide and create new mutated cells, on and on and on.
How do the new cells formed during cell division compare with the initial cell?
it depends if they go under mitosis or miosis. i'd research these. :)
Which occurs more frequently in your body mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis occur more frequently in our body. Basically mitosis occur when we get an injury or is an asexual type of reproduction. It occurs at the time of cell division and our cells need to divide often. While meosis is form of sexual reproduction and it does not occur quite often . Also, meiosis occurs more in men than in women. Look at it this way Mitosis splits once as meosis splits twice and they're not identical
What are the two daughter cells of mitosis?
All somatic (body) cells at one point or another are involved in mitosis. The only cells that do not undergo mitosis, are the sex cells, sperm and ovum cells. Every body cell from liver to nerve cells undergo mitosis at least once. Though some undergo mitosis more often than other, skin cells for example almost constantly undergoing mitosis, while some cells like nerve cells, undergo mitosis only once or twice.
What cells undergo mitosis in humans?
The cell in the body that is most often in the stages of mitosis are skin cells, as they are the ones that the body loses the most of.
How often do nerve and muscle cells divide?
Muscles cells can undergo mitosis, but almost all nerve cells will not. This is true within the body and even when isolated and put into culture.
Where in your body does mitosis occur most often?
mitosis occurs most often in the skin where cells die frequently and blood since red blood cells die everyday. Areas such as the brain where cells last way longer and don't get damaged is where mitosis occurs the least
What happens when mitosis stops?
Yes, certain cells such as your brain and skeletal muscle cells stop cell division at or around the time of birth and are arrested in a phase of interphase called G0where they no longer divide.
What types of cells divide the least often?
Answer: The internal lining of your digestive tract. Explanation: The internal lining of your digestive tract receives a lot of wear and tear. As a result, cells that line your stomach and intestine are replaced every few days. In contrast, cells that make up the rest of your intestine (mainly smooth muscle) and many of your internal organs, such as lungs, kidney, and liver, divide only occasionaly, in respons to injury or cell death.
Where would you expect mitosis to be occurring most often?
Skın cells

Why does a skin cell divide more often than liver cell?
As far as I know, liver cells usually only undergo mitosis if the liver is damaged. You should check a few other sources though.
At the end of telophase 1 are daughter cells diploid or haploid?
Mitosis is the process in which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus, into two identical sets in two daughter nuclei.[1] It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis, which divides the nuclei, cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane into two daughter cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle - the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells, genetically identical to each other and to their parent cell. Mitosis divides the chromosomes in a cell nucleus.Mitosis occurs exclusively in eukaryotic cells, but occurs in different ways in different species. For example, animals undergo an "open" mitosis, where the nuclear envelope breaks down before the chromosomes separate, while fungi such as Aspergillus nidulans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) undergo a "closed" mitosis, where chromosomes divide within an intact cell nucleus.[2] Prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus, divide by a process called binary fission. The process of mitosis is complex and highly regulated. The sequence of events is divided into phases, corresponding to the completion of one set of activities and the start of the next. These stages are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During the process of mitosis the pairs of chromosomes condense and attach to fibers that pull the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell. The cell then divides in cytokinesis, to produce two identical daughter cells.[3] Because cytokinesis usually occurs in conjunction with mitosis, "mitosis" is often used interchangeably with "mitotic phase". However, there are many cells where mitosis and cytokinesis occur separately, forming single cells with multiple nuclei. This occurs most notably among the fungi and slime moulds, but is found in various different groups. Even in animals, cytokinesis and mitosis may occur independently, for instance during certain stages of fruit fly embryonic development.[4] Errors in mitosis can either kill a cell through apoptosis or cause mutations that may lead to cancer.
