Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Mitosis occurs in the Leaf cell.Cell division by mitosis gives rise to genetically identical cells in which the total number of chromosomes is maintained. Before mitosis, the DNA is duplicated and then the chromosomes are split equally into two daughter cells.
Mitosis occurs in somatic cells, this means that it takes place in all types of cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. Therefore it occurs in the leaf cell.
