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 stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I is the reductional division where homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two haploid cells.
In Meiosis II, the two haploid cells from Meiosis I undergo a second division. This division is similar to mitosis, where the sister chromatids are separated.
Each of the two haploid cells from Meiosis I divides again during Meiosis II, resulting in a total of four cells.
Since the cells produced at the end of Meiosis II are haploid and there are four of them, the result of Meiosis II is four haploid cells.
