Answer 2

Answer:

Somatic cells divide by mitosis.

Know more:-

Mitosis

• Mitosis or equational division is a process by which a single cell divides to form two identical or daughter cells.

• The output of this division is two diploid cells.

• It serves an important role in general growth of an organism, cell replacement (replacing worn out cells) and in asexual reproduction.

Meiosis

• Meiosis or reduction division is a process by which a single parent cell divides to form four genetically different daughter cells.

• Herein, the four cells formed are haploid.(Chromosomes being reduced to half in each of the cell).

• It plays a vital role in genetic variation. (recombination process reshuffles the genetic content), ensuring correct no. of chromosomes in organism reproduced through sexual reproduction

______________________________

Stem cells

• Stem cells divide in a way different than that of the somatic cells or the germ cells (gametes).

• They divide into two cells, of which one has the ability to form specialized cells and the other retains its role as a stem cell. This kind of division thus, attains the name "Asymmetric division."
