Cells under go mitosis to replace lost cells or increase the mass of an area of tissue. (growth) Mitosis is simply the division of cells, which has a number of steps including anaphase, telophase and metaphase.

What is the number of cells resulting from mitosis?
2 diploid cells
What types of cells does mitosis occurs?
Mitosis occurs in somatic cells. The main purpose of mitosis is to create two identical cells from one single cell.
What is the name of the process that cells use to divide?
Mitosis is the process that produces new 2N cells from 2N cells Meiosis is the process that produces 1N reproductive cells.
How many cells do you end up with after mitosis and meiosis?
After mitosis you have two cells and after meiosis you have 4 cells.
Mitosis occurs in what types of cells?
Mitosis occurs in body cells.
How does a cell know when to carry out mitosis and when not to carry out mitosis?
A cell carries out mitosis when the tissue it is in needs to replace old cells or it needs to grow by adding new cells.
Which cells are known NOT to do mitosis?
gametic (sperm or egg) cells do not carry out mitosis, instead they carry out meiosis. Mitosis gives a diploid number of chromosomes to each cell, meiosis gives a haploid number.
The period in which cells carry out non-mitosis activities?
Interphase
What cells carry out mitosis?
Only somatic/autosomal cells. Sex cells or cells of the germ line undergo meiosis.
What is the number of cells resulting from mitosis?
2 diploid cells
Multicellular organisms are able to make new cells to replace damaged cells?
Mitosis
In what cells does mitosis occur?
All cells undergo mitosis othe than gametic cells (these are reproductive cells, ie sperm cells and ovums). Mitosis is the cells way of dividing to produce two identical daughter cells, which is necessary for all 'normal' cells of the body. The reproductive cells need to carry non identical information though otherwise you would end up with children who were all exactly alike
What cells uses mitosis?
Somatic cells or body cells perform mitosis.
What types of cells does mitosis occurs?
Mitosis occurs in somatic cells. The main purpose of mitosis is to create two identical cells from one single cell.
How many cells are produced mitosis?
2 cells are formed after mitosis.
What is the name of the process that cells use to divide?
Mitosis is the process that produces new 2N cells from 2N cells Meiosis is the process that produces 1N reproductive cells.
How many cells do you end up with after mitosis and meiosis?
After mitosis you have two cells and after meiosis you have 4 cells.
