However, "cell division" is a broad term that encompasses two main types:

* Mitosis: This is the process by which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It's used for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in many organisms.

* Meiosis: This is the process by which a single cell divides into four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. It's used for sexual reproduction, creating gametes (sperm and egg cells).

So, while "cell division" is the general term, mitosis and meiosis are the specific processes by which cells reproduce.
