Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis occurs in somatic cells; this means that it takes place in all types of cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. Prior to each mitotic division, a copy of every chromosome is created; thus, following division, a complete set of chromosomes is found in the nucleus of each new cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Somatic cells play a critical role in the creation of the body’s structure. As a result, mitotic cell division is required, resulting in an increase in the number of diploid cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle process by which chromosomes (DNA) in a cell. nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, each in its own. nucleus and its own cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Somatic cells-that is, the cells in your body that aren’t sex cells-do this via a process called mitosis. New sex cells, or gametes, are produced via a different process, called meiosis.
