Here's a breakdown:

* Mitosis is the process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This is the primary way that multicellular organisms grow and repair damaged tissues.

* Karyokinesis is the specific term for the division of the nucleus within mitosis.

During mitosis, the chromosomes (which contain the genetic material) are duplicated and then carefully separated into the two new daughter cells, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete copy of the genetic information.
