MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
May occur in all body cells
A
mitosis
B
meiosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single diploid cell. Mitosis occurs in nearly every cell in the human body. It is essential for our body’s growth, development and repair.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a cell division process that results in the formation of two daughter cells. The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells remains the same (i.e., diploid 2n); hence it is called equational division. It occurs in all cells in the body except reproductive cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis does not occur in all cells. Meiosis only occurs in reproductive cells, as the goal is to create haploid gametes that will be used in fertilization.
