NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Somatic cells account for all the cells of the body except reproductive cells. Other than gametes, stem cells and germs cells, all the cells of a multicellular organism are known as somatic cells. Diploid somatic cells undergo mitosis and are responsible for growth, repair and regeneration.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. Somatic cells are the cells in the body other than sperm and egg cells (which are called germ cells). In humans, somatic cells are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Somatic cells, adult stem cells, and the cells in the embryo are the three types of cells in the body that undergo mitosis. Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Skin cells, red blood cells or gut lining cells cannot undergo mitosis.
