PATHOLOGY

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 are produced through the cell division process of mitosis. They contain two copies of each chromosome, one from an organism’s mother and one from their father.

Detailed explanation-3: -The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes.
