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.

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.

Does cell division occur at the same rate in skin cells as in blood cells?

No, cell division does not occur at the same rate in skin cells as in blood cells. Skin cells undergo continuous division, as they need to constantly replace old and damaged cells, while blood cells have shorter life spans and go through more rapid and frequent division to maintain an adequate supply in the bloodstream.
