Question
which type of cells undergo mitosis and meiosis???
Answer
Somatic cell is your answer
◇Most eukaryotic cells that are not involved in the production of gametes undergo mitosis.
◇These cells, known as somatic cells, are important to the survival of eukaryotic organisms, and it is essential that somatic parent and daughter cells do not vary from one another.
◇Meiosis is a special type of cell division that takes place only in cells involved in sexual reproduction.
◇In higher organisms like humans, these are immature sperm cells in males and developing eggs in females.
◇All other cells in your body use a different type of cell division, called mitosis, to produce new cells.
◇For example, cells in your skin divide regularly by mitosis to keep a new supply of skin cells available at all times.
◇When a cell begins to divide by mitosis, it makes a second copy of the DNA in its nucleus.
◇Chromosomes contain this DNA, and humans have 46 chromosomes.
◇Once DNA production is done, there are still 46 chromosomes, but each is twice the normal size.
◇Next, chromosomes line up across the cell's center and each chromosome splits in half, with one half moving to each end of the cell.
◇Finally, a new membrane forms across the middle of the cell, making two new cells, each containing 46 new chromosomes.
◇In the absence of spontaneous changes to DNA, called mutations, mitosis produces two new cells that are identical to the parent cell.
