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.
Interphase
Somatic cells carry out mitosis, while germ cells carry out meiosis. Somatic cells are body cells that undergo division for growth and repair, while germ cells are sex cells that undergo division to produce gametes for sexual reproduction.
Cells regulate the cell cycle through checkpoints that monitor cell conditions. Factors such as DNA damage, cell size, and growth signals determine whether a cell should proceed with mitosis or pause the cell cycle to repair damage. If conditions are not favorable, the cell will not enter mitosis.
Somatic cells or body cells perform mitosis.

Interphase
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.

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells Mitosis occurs in gametes Mitosis results in two daughter cells Mitosis results in genetically identical daughter cells True statements: Mitosis occurs in somatic cells Mitosis results in two daughter cells Mitosis results in genetically identical daughter cells
Mitosis occurs in somatic cells. The main purpose of mitosis is to create two identical cells from one single cell.

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
Red blood cells do not undergo mitosis because they lose their nucleus during maturation, so they cannot divide or replicate. Their main function is to carry oxygen, and the absence of a nucleus allows for more space to carry hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein. Red blood cell production occurs in the bone marrow from stem cells that do undergo mitosis.
Most cells do not go through mitosis and are what you call to be in G0 Phase. This is when the cell ONLY does its normal functions and do not try to replicate itself (unless big damage is done to an organ). These cells will go to G1 phase when it is necessary to do cell division.
