Question

What is cell division?

Answer 1

Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle.
During cell division, the cell nucleus splits and the DNA is replicated. There are two types of cell divisions: mitosis and meiosis. Most of the time when people refer to “cell division,” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates sex cells (egg and sperm). Mitosis is a fundamental process for life.
