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 part of cell division in which replicated DNA is separated into the two halves of a dividing cell. Eukaryotes are organisms which have cells containing membrane-bound compartments called organelles, such as the nucleus and mitochondria. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, do not have such compartments. Therefore, cell division occurs somewhat differently in prokaryotes.
