Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.
Recall that human cells are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes, totaling 46 chromosomes.
During meiosis, the chromosome number is halved, so each resulting daughter cell will have one set of chromosomes.
Calculate the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell by dividing the total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell (46) by 2.
Conclude that each daughter cell will have 23 chromosomes, which is the haploid number for humans.
