What cells go through Mitosis?
Almost all of them. All Somatic cells go through this process. A Somatic cell is almost any cell in an organism, excluding sperm and eggs and the cells that generate them. Interphase The first stage of the Mitotic Cell Cycle is Interphase. Interphase is the time spent between the time a cell is actually dividing, and the cell spends most of it’s time in this phase (99%). Interphase is therefor broken down into three steps that are planely visible in their destict qualities: G1, S Phase, and G2. G1 is short of “First Gap”. During this phase the cell grows in size due to the duplication of organelles and cellular protiens that will be needed during the S Phase and later Mitotic Phase. The S Phase is the most important part of Interphase, because it is during this period that the cell actually synthesizes its DNA, which is of course the main purpose of the Mitotic Cell Cycle. This process begins by the unwinding of the DNA Strand, which exists within the cell nucleus as a helical strand.
