What cells undergo mitosis in humans?

Somatic cells in the body undergo mitosis in humans, including skin cells, blood cells, and cells in the digestive system. These cells go through mitosis for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues in the body.


Which cells in the human body undergo mitosis?

A cell is the most basic form of life, and therefore your body is comprised of millions upon millions of cells. When a cell goes into its mitosis stage of life it does so in order to grow, repair damage or for the efficiency of the cell itself (once a cell is too large, it cannot preform basic tasks effectively). So, in actuality, every cell in your body "splits" into two new identicle cells whenever need be.


Why do cells need to double their chromosomes before mitosis starts?

They are in need of reproduction.


Do all cells undergo mitosis on a regular basis?

Cells do undergo mitosis regularly. This is because cells are always dying and need to be replaced. However, there are certain cells that are commanded by the brain, or have special genetic coding that instructs them to stop multiplying. For instance, cells in the nervous system and spine do not multiply after birth. That is why damage to the spine is so irreversible.


What processes do all cells undergo?

First they need to ingest energy in the form of foodstuffs. Then they need to produce the enzymatic facilities that all cells need to GROW; and finally when Growth is sufficient, they must needs to undergo cell division. Repeat as regulated.


Why are skin cells undergoing mitosis condition?

Skin cells undergo mitosis to replace old or damaged cells, maintain the overall integrity of the skin, and facilitate wound healing. Additionally, mitosis helps in the growth and development of the skin during periods of growth.


These cells use mitosis to divide into two daughter cells?

Both plant and animal cells use mitosis to form two daughter cells. They are usually called soma (body) cells but there are some exceptions: nerve cells and liver cells. The liver cells can divide in the time of need.


In what cells does mitosis occur?

All cells undergo mitosis othe than gametic cells (these are reproductive cells, ie sperm cells and ovums). Mitosis is the cells way of dividing to produce two identical daughter cells, which is necessary for all 'normal' cells of the body. The reproductive cells need to carry non identical information though otherwise you would end up with children who were all exactly alike


Why is it important that sex cells do not go through mitosis?

sex cells need to go through meiosis because the daughter cells will get half the chromosomes. if they when through mitosis they would get all the necessary chromosomes and when an egg is fertilized and creates a child it will have double the number of chromosomes that it needs. it could cause mutations.


Why do cells go through reproduction or mitosis?

Mitosis: Cells undergo mitosis to replace dead cells. If there is/are cell(s) absent in any part of the body, mitosis occurs to replace the missing cell(s). So basically, if an organism is able to keep all its cells from being harmed in any way, mitosis will never be required as no cell will need replacement. Meiosis: Cells undergo meiosis to form gametes (sex cells). These cells are able to fuse with the opposite gamete in order to fertilize and create offsprings. If meiosis did not occur, the continuity of any species that reproduced sexually would be in jeopardy. Because meiosis occurs and gametes form, individuals become fertile and are able to produce offsprings in order to continue their species.


What will happen to the organs if the tissuea are injured?

In common situations, such as hand abrasions, cells nearby undergo mitosis and regenerate the tissue. This will not happen if cancerous cells are present.


Why is mitosis important to repairing injuries?

Mitosis is important because cells need to reproduce to form new cells to repair the area that has been damaged and replace cells that have been lost
