Mitosis or the equational division is usually restricted to the diploid cells only. However, in some lower plants and in some social insects haploid cells also divide by mitosis. It is essential for the cell to divide to restore the nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio. The cells of the upper layer of the epidermis, cells of the lining of the gut, and blood cells are being constantly replaced.
