  • Somatic Cells and Mitosis: How Body Cells Divide
    The cells that use mitosis to divide into two daughter cells are somatic cells.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Somatic cells are all the cells in your body except for germ cells (sperm and egg cells). They make up your tissues and organs.

    * Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.

    So, skin cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, etc. – all of these are somatic cells that divide by mitosis.
