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.

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 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.
