Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half and produces gametes (sex cells).
Recall that meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II.
In meiosis I, one diploid parent cell divides into two haploid cells.
In meiosis II, each of the two haploid cells divides again, resulting in a total of four haploid daughter cells.
Therefore, the total number of daughter cells produced from one cell undergoing meiosis is four.
