Cell cleavage refers to the process of a cell dividing into two or multiple daughter cells. There are various synonyms for cell cleavage, including cell division, cell fission, mitosis, cytokinesis, and reproduction. Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells. Cytokinesis is the final stage of the cell division process where the cytoplasm of the mother cell divides to form two daughter cells. Reproduction is the process through which new cells are generated, and it can either be asexual or sexual. Cell fission is another term used to describe the process of cell cleavage, especially in single-celled organisms.
