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.
Recognize that one diploid parent cell undergoes meiosis I to produce two haploid cells.
Each of these two haploid cells then undergoes meiosis II, resulting in a total of four haploid daughter cells.
Therefore, the number of daughter cells produced from a single cell at the end of meiosis is four.
