Verified step by step guidance

Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the production of gametes or spores.
Recall that meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Telophase I is the final stage of Meiosis I.
During Telophase I, homologous chromosomes are separated into two different cells. This means that each resulting cell will have half the number of chromosomes compared to the original cell, making them haploid.
Recognize that the chromosomes in these cells are still duplicated at the end of Telophase I, as they consist of two sister chromatids.
Conclude that the end result after Telophase I in meiosis is two haploid cells with duplicated chromosomes.
