Question

What kind of cell division occurs in the normal somatic body cell of an organism?

Answer 1

Somatic cells:

1. Somatic cells are any cells in the body that aren't reproductive cells like sperm and eggs. These cells are diploid, which means they have two chromosome sets.
2. Somatic cells play a critical role in the creation of the body's structure. As a result, mitotic cell division is required, resulting in an increase in the number of diploid cells.
3. Mitosis is a nuclear division process that occurs in eukaryotic cells when a parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It increases the number of cells in the body and aids in cell development, replacement, and repair.
