All cells arise from a pre-existing cell (part of the cell theory). In order for new cells to be made (either to make a new cell or replace older cell) an existing cell replicates its DNA, creating two sets of DNA, and then the cell splits, becoming two daughter cells which each have their own set of complete DNA. This process occurs in almost all cells. In most of the body's cells, this is called mitosis.  
Sex cells, however, go through a slightly different division process, known as meiosis.  
Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells, which contain half the genetic material of the original cell, and each cell is genetically different. This process is specific to gametes, meaning only egg cells and sperm cells are made this way. 
Cytokinesis is a phase in both mitosis and meiosis where the newly formed cell becomes physically separated from the parent cell. This process is not specific to cell division in gametes.  
Apoptosis refers to "cell death" which is a normal part of the cell life cycle. As cells age and become less functional, they die off to allow for replenishment with new cells.
