Verified step by step guidance1
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.
In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated into two different cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
In meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated, resulting in four genetically distinct daughter cells.
Therefore, at the end of meiosis, four daughter cells are created, each with half the chromosome number of the original cell.
