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.


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


How fast does human skin regenerate?

Mitosis occurs when tissues are damaged, for example, if there is a wound, 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.


Do mitosis and meiosis take place in all kind of living things?

You do need mitosis to live. If we didn't have mitosis we all would of died by now. Mitosis is the process of cell multiplication (and all the cells are identical), if we lose that ability we wouldn't be able heal cuts, for example, we would all bleed to death. Also, if our cells stopped reproducing, our internal organs would deteriorate in minutes because there is nothing to provide them with the nutrients they need to function.


What do cells need to do before they undergo mitosis?

Replication of DNA

Which occurs more frequently in your body mitosis or meiosis?

Mitosis occur more frequently in our body. Basically mitosis occur when we get an injury or is an asexual type of reproduction. It occurs at the time of cell division and our cells need to divide often. While meosis is form of sexual reproduction and it does not occur quite often . Also, meiosis occurs more in men than in women. Look at it this way Mitosis splits once as meosis splits twice and they're not identical


Where is the location of Mitosis?

Hello there. Some would answer that the location of mitosis is within each individual cell of your body! Indeed it is! How else does your body grow on its own without the need for routine sexual reproduction? There are also growth hormones released from the thyroid glands if the human body that signal to specific cells when to undergo mitosis.


Places in the body where mitosis takes place?

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.

Why do living things need mitosis to occur?

Living things need mitosis to grow, repair damaged tissues, and replace old or dying cells. Mitosis ensures that each new cell receives an identical copy of the genetic information to the parent cell, allowing for the organism to develop, maintain its structure, and carry out normal functions.

When is mitosis used in the animal's body?

for example when they get injured, skin cells need to be replaced


What is copied before mitosis begins?

DNA, the genetic material, of course. Also mitochondria and chloroplasts need to divide. This is the process of mitosis where two daughter cells are produced and both will need the complete complement of genetic material; DNA.


Why does crossing-over not occur in mitosis?

well from what i understand mitosis is just the replication of a cell, a cell divides into two cells and it is not being effected by any other cell so crossing over cant occur Crossing over occurs in meiosis to create diversity in the genetic material so the offspring is neither identical to father or mother. in mitosis it does not occur because the parent cell is making an identical copy of itself, so the DNA does not need to vary.


How many parents used in mitosis?

There is only one parent need in mitosis. :)


What is the significance of mitosis in an organism's survival?

without mitosis you literally couldn't ever exist!-mitosis is the process of a cell that's duplicating, and that helps your body maintain its self so while you grow, you need more cells, right?-and also it's for things like when you lose blood then your body needs to recover by going through the process of osmosis for example, and so your body can do things faster too ext.
