However, there are two main types of cell division:

* Mitosis: This is the process by which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It's responsible for growth, repair, and development.

* Meiosis: This is a specialized type of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells like sperm and egg). It results in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

So, depending on the context, you might specify mitosis or meiosis to be more accurate.
