In cell division, the cell that is dividing is called the parent cell. The parent cell divides into two daughter cells. The process then repeats in what is called the cell cycle. Cells regulate their division by communicating with each other using chemical signals from special proteins called cyclins.
Mitosis is the cycle that eukaryotic cells go through in order to divide. During mitosis, a cell duplicates its DNA and divides into two genetically identical cells. Mitosis is typically followed by cytokinesis, which divides the other properties of the cell including cytoplasm, organelles and the cell membrane. Karyokinesis also occurs, which divides the nucleus.
