Can mitosis occur in all types of cells?
Mitosis occurs in most eukaryotic cells except for sex cells which undergo meiosis to produce gametes.
Mitosis occurs in most eukaryotic cells except for sex cells which undergo meiosis to produce gametes.
Errors during mitosis can lead to conditions such as cancer if cells divide uncontrollably, or genetic disorders if chromosomes are not distributed correctly.
Mitosis results in two genetically identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while meiosis produces four genetically unique cells with half the number of chromosomes, contributing to sexual reproduction.
Cells use spindle fibers to align and pull apart chromosomes during mitosis, ensuring each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
Mitosis begins following the completion of the G2 phase of interphase, triggered by specific genetic and molecular signals that ensure the cell is ready to divide.
