How many daughter cells are created in Meiosis?

In meiosis, the process of cell division that leads to the formation of gametes, a total of four daughter cells are produced. This process consists of two sequential divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, and each resulting cell is haploid, containing one set of chromosomes. Then, meiosis II resembles mitosis where the sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated. At the end of meiosis II, the two haploid cells from meiosis I each divide, resulting in four haploid daughter cells in total. This is essential for sexual reproduction, as these four cells ultimately develop into sperm or egg cells, ensuring genetic diversity through recombination and independent assortment of chromosomes.
