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

Does mitosis or meiosis occur in all body tissue's?

Mitosis does not in fact occur in all of the tissues of the body. Mitosis occurs in all tissues of the body that are not sex tissues.


In a human body give an example of a where mitosis may occur Give an example of where meiosis would occur?

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells to generate new cells for growth and repair throughout the body. For example, mitosis occurs in skin cells to replace old or damaged skin cells. Meiosis occurs in reproductive cells to produce gametes (sperm and eggs). For example, meiosis occurs in the testes to produce sperm cells in males and in the ovaries to produce egg cells in females.


Where do meiosis and mitosis take place within the human body?

Meiosis takes place in the reproductive organs (testes in males and ovaries in females) to produce gametes (sperm and eggs), while mitosis occurs in various tissues throughout the body for growth, repair, and maintenance of cells.


What are four ways in which meiosis different from mitosis?

Meiosis differs from mitosis in the following ways; meiosis produces four cells while mitosis two produces cells. Meiosis occurs in sex cells while mitosis occurs body cells.


What are differences between mitosis and meiosis?

Meiosis is the production of new sex cells, (each cell has only half the the amount of info.- chromosomes as a normal cell because it will join eventually to another sex cell if fertilised and then they will make a complete cell of information together) Mitosis is the production of new body cells for growth and repair. the new cells are identical to the old original because the original cell splits in two and then those cells split and it continues.

What occurs only in the gonads mitosis or meiosis?

Meiosis occurs only in the gonads. Meiosis is the process by which gametes (sperm and egg cells) are produced in the gonads, while mitosis is the process by which somatic cells undergo cell division for growth and repair throughout the body.

Is crossing over unique to meiosis?

Yes. Crossover only occurs in prophase of meiosis I. Becuase it does not occur in mitosis, all the cells in our body are supposed to have the same genetic information (of course, excluding the cases where somatic mutations occur, such as in cancer).


Where does mitosis occur in the body?

mitosis occures everywhere in the body, most people get mitosis mixed up with meiosis but meiosis is the process of mitosis doubled, meiosis happens mainly in the sex cells suck as sperm, and in the development process of a embryo, zygote, and fetus, etc.
