Is mitosis structure found in plant cell?

Yes. Mitosis and all of the structures needed to carry it out are found in a plant cell.


Which cells are known NOT to do mitosis?

gametic (sperm or egg) cells do not carry out mitosis, instead they carry out meiosis. Mitosis gives a diploid number of chromosomes to each cell, meiosis gives a haploid number.


Why does the cell need to replicate its DNA for mitosis?

The cell needs to replicate its DNA for mitosis to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information. Replicating the DNA ensures that each daughter cell will have all the necessary genetic material to perform its functions and carry out cellular processes.


When a cell reproduces by mitosis and cytoplasmic division does its life end?

No, a cell's life does not necessarily end when it reproduces by mitosis and cytoplasmic division. Mitosis is a process by which a cell replicates its DNA and divides into two identical daughter cells. The original cell may continue to function and carry out its normal activities as part of a larger organism.


After mitosis is completed what happens to the original cell?

After mitosis, the original cell has divided into two genetically identical daughter cells. Each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the original cell and continues to carry out its specific functions.


Which process of cellular division results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell?

Mitosis. Also asexual reproducing methods produce cells identical to parent cells. Ex-Fissions,budding


What dose each identical daughter cell have complete after mitosis?

Each identical daughter cell resulting from mitosis will have a complete set of chromosomes, identical to the parent cell. This ensures that each daughter cell can function independently and carry out its specific roles in the body.


What is the type of cell division responsible for growth and repair?

Mitosis is the type of cell division essential for repair of tissues.


What cells carry out mitosis?

Somatic cells, which are any cell in the body other than germ cells (sperm and egg cells), carry out mitosis. Mitosis is the process by which somatic cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


Does cell replacement occur in mitosis or meiosis?

Its meiosis. Mitosis is cell division.


What replicates during mitosis in a cell?

During mitosis, the cell's DNA replicates.


What is the Name of cell produced through mitosis?

The original cell is the parent cell and the cell split through mitosis is the daughter cell.
