Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis occurs in only somatic cells/both somatic and germ cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -We know that mitosis produces autosomes; meiosis produces sex chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -By contrast, the autosomes appear to undergo reductional division in meiosis I [35]. In meiosis II, the autosomal sister chromatids separate, as in standard meiosis, but the X and Y chromosomes are separate and associated with opposite spindle poles from metaphase II through anaphase II [35].
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘Mitosis plays a role in growth, repair and asexual reproduction’
Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct statement is ‘Mitosis takes place regularly in somatic cells, whereas meiosis occurs only in germ cells’.
