Sample content WEEK 3 Cell Reproduction Worksheet What types of cells and organisms undergo mitosis and meiosis? Mitosis happens in all life forms as a ways to unicellular reproduction, development and restore. Meiosis only occurs in multicellular sexually reproducing life forms. For these life forms, mitosis will happen in the body, or somatic cells while on the other hand meiosis will happen to generate the gametes or sex cells. When do organisms use each process? Mitosis is for development and restoration of destroyed and hampered body cells.

Review the illustration of each process in Figure 8.15 on p. 134 (Ch. 8) of the text. In which p
