The division of the nucleus is known as:
A
Synthesis
B
Mitosis
C
G1
D
G2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is the process of cell division wherein the chromosomes replicate and get equally distributed into two daughter cells. The chromosome number in each daughter cell is equal to that in the parent cell, i.e., diploid. Hence, mitosis is known as equational division.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of partition of a cell’s nucleus into the daughter cells during cell division is called karyokinesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nuclear divisions occur in both mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, the result is the division of duplicated copies of genome into two. In meiosis, nuclear division occurs twice, dividing the originally single nucleus into four nuclei that are genetically different from one another.

Detailed explanation-5: -Division of the nucleus during cell division is called karyokinesis and is followed by Cytokinesis, the division of the cell cytoplasm. Metakinesis is the separation of sister chromatids and their movement to opposite poles during anaphase stage of mitosis.
