all cells
all cells

skin cells

Answer 1

Mitosis primarily occurs in **body cells**. These include somatic cells (such as skin cells, muscle cells, and other tissues) that undergo mitotic division for growth, repair, and maintenance.

While skin cells specifically undergo mitosis as part of their normal regeneration process, it's important to note that not all cells undergo mitosis (e.g., certain differentiated cells like neurons do not divide).

**Sex cells** (gametes), on the other hand, are produced through meiosis, not mitosis.

So, the best general answer to your question is **body cells**.
