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 sequential stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two haploid cells, each with half the number of chromosomes.
In Meiosis II, the sister chromatids within the two haploid cells are separated, similar to mitosis, resulting in four haploid daughter cells.
Conclude that at the end of Meiosis II, a total of four daughter cells are produced from the original single cell.
