Daughter nuclei are the nuclei that result from the division of a parent nucleus in processes such as cell division (mitosis or meiosis) or nuclear fission. These daughter nuclei inherit genetic material from the parent nucleus and may go on to carry out their own functions in the cell.

In radioactive decay measurements, daughter nuclei are the products formed when a parent nucleus undergoes decay. These daughter nuclei can be stable or unstable, leading to further decay processes. Their characteristics, including half-lives and decay modes, are crucial for understanding the overall decay chain and the behavior of the original radioactive material. Measurements of daughter nuclei help in quantifying the decay process and assessing the age or activity of the parent isotope.

When a parent cell makes several nuclei and divides to make several daughter cells, it is called multiple fission. This process is common in some protists like amoebas and algae where multiple nuclei are produced before the cytoplasm divides to form several daughter cells.
During the telophase stage of mitosis and meiosis two daughter nuclei are formed. The daughter nuclei begin forming the two ends of the cell.

During mitosis, the two new nuclei that form are called daughter nuclei. These daughter nuclei contain identical genetic material to the original nucleus, as the chromosomes are replicated and evenly distributed to ensure each new cell receives a complete set of DNA. The process culminates in cytokinesis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells, each with its own nucleus.

Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter nuclei.
The daughter cells produced by mitosis have nuclei that are genetically identical to the parent cell's nucleus, containing the same number of chromosomes. In contrast, the daughter cells produced by meiosis have nuclei with half the number of chromosomes, resulting in genetic diversity. Thus, the type of nucleus in the daughter cells depends on whether the process was mitosis or meiosis.
The outcome of mitosis is two daughter cells with nuclei identical to the parent cell.
