Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells and is usually an integral part of the cell cycle. This type of cell division is called mitosis where the daughter cells are capable of dividing again. In another type of cell division (meiosis) present only in eukaryotes, a cell is permanently transformed into a gamete and cannot divide again until fertilization.
