Question

Mitosis occurs in (1)Meristematic cells (2)Undifferentiated germ cells (3)Somatic cells (4)More than one option is correct

Answer 1

Answer:

• The correct option would be option 4.) More than one option is correct.

Explanation:

• Mitosis is a type of cell division in which the numnumber of chromosomes in the newly formed daughter cells are same as their parent cells.

• Mitosis cell division is also called as Somatic cell division because it takes place in the somatic cells of the organisms or the body cells of the organisms.

• The meristems of the plant cell are the tissues which undergoes rapid division, and this division in this cells are mitosis cell division.

• On the other hand, in the undifferentiated germ cells, meiotic cell division takes place because the number of chromosomes becomes half of the parent cells.

• Therefore, mitosis cell division will take place in both meristematic cells of the plants, and the somatic cells. So, option 4.) more than one option should be correct.
