Best Answer

Mitosis a process more simply explained as regeneration of cells, as it is most significant in that process. The cells of our body replicate (clone themselves) as needed. For instance, if you cut your hand, the skin cells will regenerate in the process of mitosis, and so will all cells, except those of reproductive cells which use meiosis. To answer your question: our skin endures micro damage all the time and as regeneration is performed in mitosis, it also occurs all the time.

Which occurs more frequently in your body mitosis or meiosis?

Mitosis occur more frequently in our body. Basically mitosis occur when we get an injury or is an asexual type of reproduction. It occurs at the time of cell division and our cells need to divide often. While meosis is form of sexual reproduction and it does not occur quite often . Also, meiosis occurs more in men than in women. Look at it this way Mitosis splits once as meosis splits twice and they're not identical


Can mitosis and meiosis occur at the same time?

No,Meiosis is done in the gonads to produce gametes and it produce 4 haploid cells while mitosis happens ia all body cells producing two daughter cells diploid similar to the parent cell

What is more common in humans meiosis or mitosis?

Mitosis occurs in our somatic cells and Meiosis occur in our reproductive cells, gametes Most of the time our body is under the influence of mitosis which replace the old and worn out cells with new one's whereas the Meiotic type of division occurs at a specific time in the life of an organism's development. The chromosome number in mitotic division remains the same whereas in meiotic division the chromosomes number is halved


What would happen if mitosis did not occur?

If mitosis didn't occur, any part of a living being where cells are destroyed (stomach, kidneys etc) for whatever purpose, would cease to function after a relatively short amount of time (a few years at best, depending on the amount of cells that part normally has). A living being's body parts would also never grow. They would stay the same size since they were born. The only upside is that, without mitosis, cancer wouldn't occur.
