There are two main types of cell division:
* Mitosis: This is the process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. It's how our bodies grow and repair tissues.
* Meiosis: This is the process of cell division that produces four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It's responsible for the production of gametes (sperm and egg cells) for sexual reproduction.
So, while "cell division" is the general term, "mitosis" and "meiosis" are the specific types of cell division that occur in different contexts.
