Where in the body can mitosis take place? like the liver, kidney, finger nails, where specifically in the body

Anywhere in the body except in your blood or ovaries/testes.Where in the body can mitosis take place? like the liver, kidney, finger nails, where specifically in the body
Mitosis takes place in most places in the body. Red blood cells don't divide mitotically because they don't have a nucleus, so they don't divide at all (their origins are more detailed - the arise from stem cells in the marrow of some bones).





Gametes don't divide mitotically either - gametes are egg cells and sperm cells - these divide by a process known as meiosis, whereby the number of chromosomes in the resulting cells' nuclei is half of the normal number (23 instead of 46). This is important in the role of genetic variation.Where in the body can mitosis take place? like the liver, kidney, finger nails, where specifically in the body
mitosis takes place in the majority of our body like repairing our internal organs,bones and regeneration of our skins
Mitosis takes place in body cells which are needed to repair red blood cells, cut, wounds and broken bones!
