The process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells is called cell division.

There are two main types of cell division:

* Mitosis: This is the process by which most cells in the body divide, producing two identical daughter cells. It's essential for growth, repair, and development.

* Meiosis: This is the process by which sex cells (sperm and egg) are produced. It results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

So, while "cell division" is the general term, mitosis is the specific process you're likely looking for when describing the division of a cell into two identical daughter cells.
