mitosis
Depends. If it's the division of the nucleus of an atom, it's called fission. If it's the division of the nucleus of a living cell, it's called mitosis.
In addition to cell division, meiosis also involves division of a cell's nucleus. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half to produce gametes (eggs or sperm).
Mitosis is the process by which a cell's nucleus divides into two identical nuclei, while cytokinesis is the division of the cell's cytoplasm to create two separate daughter cells. Mitosis involves the separation of chromosomes, while cytokinesis involves the physical splitting of the cell membrane to complete cell division.
After meiosis in a cell that originally has 46 chromosomes, each resulting nucleus will have 23 chromosomes. This is due to the process of meiosis, which involves two rounds of cell division that result in the formation of four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
Chromosomes are structures in the nucleus made of DNA and protein. They carry genetic information in the form of genes and are crucial for cell division and genetic inheritance. Chromosomes condense during cell division to facilitate their segregation into daughter cells.

Eukaryotic cells, which make up plants, animals, and fungi, have chromosomes within their nucleus that contain genetic information in the form of DNA. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not have a true nucleus or chromosomes.
Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. They are made up of DNA and proteins, which carry the genetic information essential for cell function and heredity. During cell division, chromosomes condense to form visible structures that can be seen under a microscope.
During prophase of cell division, the nucleus condenses and the chromatin (DNA and proteins) inside it becomes tightly coiled into chromosomes. The nuclear membrane also breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to become more visible and ready for division.
During meiosis I, each nucleus will have half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. This is because meiosis I involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, resulting in two daughter cells with a haploid number of chromosomes.
