Mitosis creates somatic cells, which are all the cells in your body except for sex cells (sperm and egg).

Here's why:

* Mitosis is for growth and repair: It produces two identical daughter cells from one parent cell. This is perfect for replacing old cells, healing injuries, and enabling growth in organisms.

* Meiosis is for reproduction: It creates sex cells with half the number of chromosomes as regular cells. This is essential for sexual reproduction, as it allows for the combination of genetic material from two parents.

So, mitosis is the process responsible for creating all the cells that make up your skin, muscles, bones, organs, and everything else!
