The correct answer is: Both haploid individuals and diploid individuals
Somatic cells of a multicellular organism arise from a single cell by mitotic divisions. Body growth of a multicellular organism and replacement of its lost cells is accomplished through mitosis.

Animals undergo "open" mitosis, where the nuclear envelope breaks down before the chromosomes separate, while fungi undergo "closed" mitosis, where chromosomes divide within an intact cell nucleus.
