The period between one cell division and the next is called the  interphase. It is the resting phase between successive mitotic or  meiotic divisions of a cell.
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.
