Recall that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half to produce gametes or spores.
Understand that meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II, resulting in four daughter cells.
Recognize that the original cell is diploid (2n), meaning it has two sets of chromosomes.
During meiosis, the chromosome number is halved, so each daughter cell is haploid (n), containing one set of chromosomes.
Therefore, at the end of meiosis, four haploid daughter cells are produced, each with half the chromosome number of the original diploid cell.
