Somatic Cells carry out Mitosis Cell Division? True or False.

TRUE.

Explanation:

Cell division that takes place during growth and development of an organism is called mitosis. This can also take place in asexual reproduction. Mitosis takes place in somatic cells i. e body cells that are not even involved in the production of gametes.

The somatic cell of a particular kind of organism has characteristic number of chromosomes in its nucleus. Such chromosomes are said to occur in pairs and can be called homologous chromosomes.

Mitosis can easily produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells which are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell.
