Cell division involves the replication and division of cells. There are two main types - eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell division. Eukaryotic cells must divide their nucleus and organelles before cell division through mitosis or meiosis. Prokaryotes like bacteria simply divide their single chromosome through binary fission. The cell cycle involves interphase where the cell grows and its DNA is replicated, followed by mitosis where the cell divides into two daughter cells through prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, completed by cytokinesis where the cytoplasm is divided.
