Mitosis occurs in which type of cells in multicellular eukaryotes?
A
Cells undergoing meiosis to produce haploid spores or gametes
B
Gametes (sperm and egg cells) during gamete formation
C
Prokaryotic cells during binary fission
D
Somatic (body) cells for growth and tissue repair
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the types of cells involved in different cellular division processes: mitosis and meiosis.
Recall that mitosis is the process by which somatic (body) cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, important for growth and tissue repair.
Recognize that meiosis occurs in cells that produce haploid spores or gametes, reducing the chromosome number by half for sexual reproduction.
Note that gametes (sperm and egg cells) themselves do not undergo mitosis; they are the products of meiosis.
Remember that prokaryotic cells do not undergo mitosis; instead, they divide by binary fission, a different process.
