The entire process of cell division including division of the nucleus and the cytoplasm. noun

Splitting of the chromatin of a nucleus, or subdivision of any minute granular bodies embedded in living protoplasm. The mitosis occurring in nuclear kinetics is commonly qualified as karyomitosis. noun

A figure occurring during mitosis as a result of that process. noun

See karyokinesis. noun

The division of a cell nucleus in which the genome is copied and separated into two identical halves. It is normally followed by cell division. noun

Cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes noun
