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 consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II.
During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated into two different cells, reducing the chromosome number by half.
In meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated, similar to mitosis, resulting in four genetically distinct haploid cells.
Therefore, at the end of meiosis, four cells are produced from the original diploid cell.
