Does Mitosis Occur in Gamete Cells?

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.

Do gametes undergo mitosis?

Gametes are produced by mitosis (not meiosis) and after fertilization a diploid zygote is created. ... It can only divide by meiosis to produce haploid cells once more, which then produce the main adult body.

What cells does mitosis occur in?

Mitosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus, divide by a different process called binary fission. Mitosis varies between organisms.
