Yes... Everything in the body has to grow or heal some way or another and the only way for that to happen is through mitosis.

Mitotis is the deviding of cells to form two identicle cells, in other words the same amount of chromosomes in the nucleus of the new cells. A strange way to explain the growing part could be: imagine you have a bag made of a stretchy material and you have say, for exsample, four marbles in it, each with one blue stripe in between two yellow stripes. If each marble could devide, it would create two marbles, each with one blue stripe between two yellow stripes. Eventually you will end up with 40 marbles in that same bag causing the bag to expand - the bag has grown...

In terms of healing you could imagine that a wall in your house has a gash out of it, so then you take polyfilla and you fix the hole. The polyfilla is like the cells deviding in order to heal. When you're done with the polyfilla the wall will most probibly have a different texture or perhaps stand out. The is true with an old injury. If you have an old cut on your arm or a leg that you have broken you will see the skin is thicker and has a rubbery texture and the bone will also be thicker and stronger there. The bone or skin being thicker acts as a defence mechanism to protect that from happening again.

Your whole body is made up of cells... Every part of your body must grow and any part can be injured...!

What type of cells go through mitosis?

All somatic or body cells can undergo mitosis. But only mature RBC and the cells that produce sex cells are not able to divide through mitosis.We had learned that nerve cells and other special cells can't under mitosis but new research says otherwise.


The cell will complete mitosis when making what?

All bosy and somatic cells under go mitosis to 1) Grow ( for example your skin cells multiply in order toallow your skin to sketrch when you grow bigger) 2) Repair ( when you get a cut cells will undergo mitosis to repair damaged areas)


Which happens first mitosis or cell division?

Mitosis was first discovered and meiosis evolved out of mitosis. Mitosis stands for the first division of a cell into two genetic identically cells. Meiosis stands for two divisions into four genetic different cells.


What is the first thing geneticists do in order to begin to analyze a human karyotype?

The first thing geneticists do in order to analyze a human karyotype is to obtain a sample of cells, usually through a blood test. They will then culture the cells in the lab, stop the cells in metaphase of mitosis, stain the chromosomes, and take a microphotograph to examine the chromosomes under a microscope.


Does meiosis produce most of the body cells?

The only body cell that can under go meiosis, is sex cells, or gametes. Meiosis is the process in which cell division occurs to produce only reproductive cells. Autosomes, or body cells that do not determine gender, under go a cell division called mitosis, but never through the process of meiosis, except for reproductive cells.

How many total pairs of chromosomes are in each of the daughter cells that divide under mitosis?

Human? 23 pairs as mitosis means ' to double.'


What kind of cells can do mitosis?

All of your body cells (SOMATIC CELLS) except for your gametes under go mitosis.


Do human cells undergo mitosis and cytokinesis?

No. There are certain organisms that do not go through cytokinesis and the resulting phenomena is that the organisms cells will contain more than one nucleus (aka multinucleated)

What types of cells in your body are no longer going under mitosis?

Nerve cells - or at least very slowly.

Why do cells carry out mitosis?

Cells under go mitosis to replace lost cells or increase the mass of an area of tissue. (growth) Mitosis is simply the division of cells, which has a number of steps including anaphase, telophase and metaphase.

What can you use to observe cells going through mitosis?

You can use a light microscope with stained slides of cells to observe cells going through mitosis. Staining techniques such as using dyes like Hoechst or DAPI can make the chromosomes more visible under the microscope. Time-lapse imaging can also be used to track the progression of mitosis in real time.
