Mitosis occurs in any cells in the body, however it doesn't take place in the gametes (Sperm and ova). Mitosis occurs when tissues are damaged e.g. skin = cut, mitosis is a rapid form of cell division that eventually heals to be new skin. mitosis can occur in the body anywhere, wherever new cells need to be produced to replace old or damaged cells.
Meiosis however is the rapid cell division, in which, happens only in the gametes (sex cells) and no where else in the body.
What else can I help you with?
What type of cell division occurs in all cells of an organism 's body except in the reproductive cells?
mitosis.. it helps in somatic cell divisions..
What are functions of mitosis that kids can know?
Mitosis is the duplication of cells DNA. Its functions are for growth of the body from baby to adulthood and repair injuries of the body.
Are skin cells produced by mitosis?
Yes. All of your body's cells are produced by mitosis (skin, nerve cells, cells of your organs, etc.). The only exception is that your gametes (egg or sperm) cells are produced by meiosis. Every cell in your body except for your egg or sperm (whatever you have) have been produced by mitosis.
What causes living things to grow in size?
By the sun, air , and water. The living thing like plants use water to grow the roots suck up water to drink. Air or carbon we breath out help plants grow too. Finally the sun helps make plants process their own food or plant sugar and that is how plants grow!
What would happen if mitosis did not occur?
If mitosis didn't occur, any part of a living being where cells are destroyed (stomach, kidneys etc) for whatever purpose, would cease to function after a relatively short amount of time (a few years at best, depending on the amount of cells that part normally has). A living being's body parts would also never grow. They would stay the same size since they were born. The only upside is that, without mitosis, cancer wouldn't occur.
What only takes place in reproductive organs mitosis or meiosis?
is mitosis or meiosis used to make body cells
What type of saponification reaction takes place in the human body?
Saponification takes place in places where fat is stored in the human body.
Where is mitosis currently taking place in human body?
it is a equational division it takes place in somatic cells of all part of the body....for growth...
What process takes place at the body cell?
Mitosis --> Where the body cell divides to create a new genetically-identical daughter cell
Does digestion take place in the colon?
no it doesnt...it takes place in thoer places in the body.
Name at least one place in your body where mitosis is currently taking place?
Mitosis is the process of cell division. This occurs in many places in your body, but most rapidly in areas that turn over cells often like the gut and skin. These are the tissues with the most rapid rates of mitosis.
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.
Where does mitosis take place?
Mitosis occurs within the nucleus as chromosomal replication and the cytoplasm where organelles are divided and the cell itself divides.
When new skin cells are made what type of cell division takes place?
they are produced in the respitory digestive system in the lower part of the human body
What takes place in body cells?
In body cells, various processes occur to maintain cellular functions, such as metabolism, protein synthesis, and cell division. These processes are vital for cell growth, reproduction, and overall health of the organism.
What occurs when uncontrolled division takes place?
Cancer is potentially a fatal form of uncontrolled cell division. Mitosis then becomes a weapon turned against the body, which spurs the growth of invasive tumors.
Where in your body does the cell cycle take place?
The cell cycle takes place in the nucleus of the cell. It consists of different phases, including interphase (G1, S, G2) where the cell grows and prepares for division, and mitosis where the cell divides into two daughter cells.
