The division of a cell into approximately two equal parts is called cytokinesis.

Here's a breakdown:

* Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division, occurring after mitosis (in eukaryotic cells) or binary fission (in prokaryotic cells).

* It involves the physical separation of the cytoplasm and the cell membrane, resulting in two daughter cells.
