The process of the division of somatic cells of an organism is called.
A
Cytokinesis
B
Karyokinesis
C
Meiosis
D
Mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the time when people refer to “cell division, ” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is a fundamental process for life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is how somatic-or non-reproductive cells-divide. Somatic cells make up most of your body’s tissues and organs, including skin, muscles, lungs, gut, and hair cells. Reproductive cells (like eggs) are not somatic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Somatic cells-that is, the cells in your body that aren’t sex cells-do this via a process called mitosis. New sex cells, or gametes, are produced via a different process, called meiosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The process of cell division by somatic cells that results in two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell is known as mitosis. In the process of mitosis, one cell (parent cell) undergoes cell division to produce two new cells (daughter cells).

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.
