Recall that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing haploid cells from a diploid germ cell.
Understand that meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II, each followed by cytokinesis (cell division).
During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, resulting in two haploid cells, each with duplicated chromosomes.
During meiosis II, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate, leading to a total of four haploid daughter cells.
Since cytokinesis is complete after both divisions, the final number of haploid daughter cells produced from one diploid germ cell is four.
