Explanation: 

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: -Skin cells, red blood cells or gut lining cells cannot undergo mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis happens in all eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, and fungi). It is the process of cell renewal and growth in a plant, animal or fungus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Egg production takes place in the ovaries. It takes several steps to make an egg: Before birth, special cells in the ovaries go through mitosis (cell division), producing identical cells. The daughter cells then start to divide by meiosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.
