The nuclear division of somatic cells occurs during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle, specifically in the M phase. This process involves the division of the nucleus, resulting in two identical daughter nuclei, each containing the same genetic material as the original cell. Mitosis is crucial for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a process that produces cloned cells. In SCNT, the nucleus of a somatic cell is transferred into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed, resulting in a cloned cell with the same genetic information as the somatic cell.
No. Sexual reproduction involves a fusion of the nuclear contents of one gamete (say, a sperm), with the nuclear contents of another gamete (say, an egg). The resulting cell has two alleles, or versions of a gene, for every gene in the (nuclear) genome. This cell (a zygote) thus has a full diploid nuclear genome, having derived half of its genes from its father and half from its mother. During cloning (at least during somatic cell nuclear transfer, which is one type of cloning method), a full diploid nucleus from a somatic cell is transferred to an egg cell that has had its nucleus entirely removed. In this way, all of the nuclear genes come from one individual- whoever the nucleus of the somatic cell's owner was. So, to reword, during sexual reproduction, half the genome comes from the mom and half from the dad, but during cloning, the whole genome comes from one individual, but gets put into an egg that has been emptied (or, enucleated).
it was first demonstrated by Sir F.C.Steward.
Somatic cell division
Both meiosis and mitosis are forms of cell reproduction.They both have a prophase and an anaphase.Both are forms of cell reproduction/Both are forms of nuclear division. Meiosis occurs in generative cells and mitosis in somatic cells.

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a process that produces cloned cells. In SCNT, the nucleus of a somatic cell is transferred into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed, resulting in a cloned cell with the same genetic information as the somatic cell.
Cell division through mitosis produces new somatic cells. During mitosis, a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. This process is important for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body.
Cloning typically involves somatic cell nuclear transfer, where the nucleus of a somatic cell is transferred into an enucleated egg cell. This process leads to the creation of a genetically identical organism to the original donor.
When body cells (somatic) undergo cell division (mitosis) It creates a duplicate cell. So for every cell undergoing cellular division, one new cell plus will be formed and the original will remain.
Somatic cells undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division. Meiotic division is only seen in germ cells to produce gametes.

Somatic cell division is crucial for tissue repair and maintenance throughout a person's life. As a person ages, the efficiency and accuracy of somatic cell division can decline, leading to an accumulation of genetic mutations and cellular damage. This can contribute to age-related diseases and decline in overall health.

Somatic cell division
No, mitosis and meiosis are two distinct cellular processes that cannot occur simultaneously in the same cell. Mitosis is involved in somatic cell division for growth and repair, while meiosis is specific to the formation of gametes (sex cells) for sexual reproduction.
