Cells that undergo mitotic division but not meiotic are called somatic cells.

Here's why:

* Mitosis is the process of cell division that creates two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. This is essential for growth, repair, and replacement of tissues in multicellular organisms.

* Meiosis is the specialized cell division process that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This is crucial for sexual reproduction.

Somatic cells are all the cells in a multicellular organism except for the germ cells (which produce gametes). These cells are involved in the growth and maintenance of the organism and do not contribute to the formation of gametes.
