There are two main types of cell division:
* Mitosis: This is the process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells. It is used for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
* Meiosis: This is a specialized type of cell division that produces four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It is used for sexual reproduction.
So, while "cell division" is the general term, mitosis is the more specific term for the process that produces two identical daughter cells.
