What is the scientific term for the process of nuclear division?

The scientific term for the process of nuclear division is karyokinesis. Karyokinesis refers to the division of the cell nucleus during the M phase of the cell cycle. It is a vital process in cell division that ensures the equal distribution of genetic material between the two daughter cells. Karyokinesis is followed by cytokinesis, which divides the cytoplasm of the cell, forming two identical daughter cells.
