Cell division is the reproduction of cells. Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into 2 daughter cells. [Fun fact : It is commonly referred as daughter rather than son cell because of the traditional thought process where female roles are taken into the context of reproduction]

Cell division is a part of cell cycle. Cell cycle is the life cycle of a cell. It is a series of growth and development steps a cell undergoes from it's birth to it's reproduction.

Mitosis is a part of cell cycle in eukaryotic cells in which replicated chromosomes are separated into 2 new nuclei. Mitosis happen in somatic cells. Somatic cells are the all variety of cells in any multicellular organisms except for germ cells, stem cell, or gametes.

Meiosis is a special type of cell division of germ cells in sexually - reproducing organisms that produces the gametes, the sperm or egg cells.
