Answer:
Somatic cells include all cells other than reproductive cells. Mitosis occurs most frequently in early development, when you're growing very quickly. However, your cells continue to divide by mitosis throughout your lifetime as old cells die and new ones take their place.

Mitosis only occurs in the somatic cells.
- Mitosis is the process of cell division in which the number of chromosomes in the parent cell is the same as in both daughter cells. Hence, a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes is maintained.
- Mitosis occurs in all growing parts of the body. These somatic cells can include blood cells, muscle cells, neurons, etc.
- Mitosis is very important for the formation of identical cells needed to form tissues and organs. They also help in growth, repair and regeneration of cells.
