Recall that meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II, starting from one diploid (2n) parent cell.
Understand that meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, reducing the chromosome number by half, resulting in two haploid (n) cells.
Recognize that meiosis II separates sister chromatids of each chromosome, similar to mitosis, producing a total of four haploid daughter cells.
Note that each of these four daughter cells contains half the chromosome number of the original diploid cell, making them haploid.
Conclude that from one diploid cell undergoing meiosis, four haploid daughter cells are produced after completion of meiosis I and meiosis II.
