Question

Mitosis takes place in

• A. All types of cells except those involved in gamete formation
• B. Gonads
• C. Axillary buds situated near the apical bud
• D. Cells of mature leaf

Answer 1

The correct option is A All types of cells except those involved in gamete formation

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells; this means that it takes place in all types of cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. Prior to each mitotic division, a copy of every chromosome is created; thus, following division, a complete set of chromosomes is found in the nucleus of each new cell.

Hence A is the correct option.
